Traveling From Alaska to California

We woke up to a view of snow-covered mountains in Whittier, Alaska.

We traveled by train from Whittier to Anchorage. It was a domed train that gave us excellent views.

We saw snow-capped mountains and open water for miles. I hoped to spot a whale but did not.

The water has a bluish green tint being glacial waters.

Bruce took a photo of mountain goats although it’s hard to see. They were way up high.

We made it to Anchorage with time to spare before our flight. There were no lounges in the Anchorage airport except the Alaska Airlines Lounge. It would have been $70 for the two of us to go in so we passed.

We arrived in Reno late. The view from our room at Circus Circus was ok.

We rented a car and drove to Truckee to see Kami and the kids. We went to a party at Kami and Eric’s friend’s house. There were so many kids. And they were all blond except for Emmy.

Lily and Emmy spent the night at our hotel. They went into the pool and hot tub at night and in the morning.

Lots of kid time!
