On the ferry

Though we are now on day 2 of our watery expedition, we have had no reception until now. Thus, I will catch you up!

Here's a little clip of our journey onto the ferry :

Eli is a little apprehensive about this one, but so far, he has done it with flying colors :)


Here is where our car is parked.


The Alaskan state seal :)

Yes, our morning is gorgeous! Check out how we spend our mornings at sea:

This is probably my favorite picture:


Gorgeous!!





It got a little rough y one point:

After a couple of hours of battling sea sickness (and using our God given willpower NOT to vomit), we made it through the "ocean motion" as the crew calls it.

Here is a cute little lighthouse picture Andrew took for me:


And for the eli report: E is doing great!! We were kind of worried about how he would fare during all the rough patches, but he did great! Just passed it all up with flying colors-- what a dog :)

(and I am sure black bear helped in that process as well! Ha!)


Well, it's now Sunday and we are leaving our first stop: Kechikan, Alaska!

We did get to walk around a bit outside the ship, which was Awesome. So we bought some things at the grocery store that were just too expensive to keep buying on board :)


But now, alas, time to get back on the ferry:


Bye bye Ketchikan!! Off to sea again....


Until next time :)

Blessings! Xoxoxo
