No Stopping Us Now

There was no slowing down for Day Two.  We started with quick hamming up Bear style -

We took the Tram up about 3200 ft for a better view of our first glacier.

Then it was off the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.  To make some new friends -

We learned how this great place is rescuing and helping to repopulate many of it's residence.  What an amazing place with some pretty terrific people helping to run it. 

Then we were off to our next stop - Seward Alaska.

Once we arrived in Seward, we went directly to the Alaska Sealife Center.  What an amazing place.  We got to a behind the scene tour of this amazing research and educational facility.  This Center was built using funds Alaska received from the Exxon Valdez oil spill.  And they are doing some great work.  But mostly we just liked all the amazing sea life we got to interact with...

I think the touch tank was the biggest hit!

I liked the recycled Octopus Art.

Someone was happy to see us!

Then it was off to bed in the Historic Van Gilder Hotel - which Betsy and Zac thought was creepy and possibly haunted.  We even had to use keys to open the door!
