Waking up in Alaska

     The first morning on board my parents woke us all up at 6:30 am. My sister was not pleased. She tends to only growl at you before about 9 or 10 am, so this was really pushing the limits, especially on vacation.
     However, you really couldn't blame them because of the view from our balconies, and the fact that we got to see several whales! Getting to see the slowly passing Alaskan coast was breathtaking. I could have sat there for days just watching. 
     Here are that morning's photos and whale fin or two.
