Seward

This is where we camped. We weren’t actually on the water side-just across in row 2 but no one was camping in the two or 3 sites in front of us so we had the view. It was a stunning view and we were able to watch Christy’s ship come in–we didn’t but we were able to if we wanted to get up about 5:00am. We didn’t. We did walk down to meet them when they came in

It was a rainy cold day in Seward and we had a cruise to search for wild life on the Kenai Fjords Tour. We were not scheduled to see fjords but that was the name of the cruise. The water was a bit choppy but we all took our Dramamine and no one got sick. Everyone saw the one whale–except for me. Boohoo. There were lots of Puffins but trying to focus on a little bird in flight while rocking the boat just wasn’t happening for me. It was still fun. After dinner we were sitting around and someone spotted this mama bear and her 2 cubs up in the mountains. FYI they saw it with their bare eyes, this is with a 600mm lens with a 1.4 teleconverter on it. Can you spot the bears?

The next morning we headed for Anchor Point which is between Soldotna and Homer but, closer to Homer. The vistas are just amazing and we did see on black bear one the way. This campsite has amazing views also.

We had another rainy/overcast day in Homer. John went fishing with Leeman and Christy, Melissa and I took the kids to town.

We finished our day at Anchor Point State Recreation where we saw lots of Bald Eagles!!

A great ending to a perfect day!
