Boat Trip 2.0

We woke up early Thursday morning to a cloudless blue sky (YAY!), grabbed our gear, and headed over to Mike's house. A short drive later and we were at the boat launch in Whittier.

The water was perfect!

Mike's "Trophy" at the dock- ready to go

Colin readying the fishing gear- I let the boys have

most of the fun and just enjoyed the company and the weather :)

One of two pods of killer whales we saw that day- too cool!

Back to the harbor

The temperature reached a record 70 degrees! We made it back to town just in time to make the next tunnel out of town and headed back towards Anchorage- but not without a stop for dinner at Girdwood's Double Musky- yum!

Now it was really time to head back ;) We got back to Mike's house, unloaded the boat, and headed home with full bellies and big smiles all around :)
