Juneau

Juneau, the capital city of Alaska, is a beautiful city. For you trivia buffs, it's the only capital city in the continental U.S that you can't access by road. Again, we decided to stay the night before moving on to our final destination and do a little sight-seeing. After checking in to the hotel we decided to go see a movie. I mean, our first time to a new and beautiful city, what better thing to do than go and watch Shrek, right? (I hope you're sensing the sarcasm!) Well, after sitting on an airplane as long as they did, I figured the least I could do was take the kids to a movie. It was great, too, because we were the only ones in the movie theater. When the movie ended, Katelyn went up onto the stage and danced around in the lights from the movie projector. She quite enjoyed herself. I think she thought she was in the movies.

Afterwards, we took a bus downtown and had dinner at a famous Juneau restaurant called "The Hangar", and boy did they have some amazing fish and chips.

The next morning before leaving Juneau, we took a couple hours to go see the Mendenhall Glacier and surrounding waterfall--they were absolutely beautiful!
