Alaska, day 6

Day 6 of our cruise brought us into Glacier Bay. It was very cold there, since there are so many glaciers.

The first Glacier we came up to was the Margerie Glacier.


The next big glacier was fairly far away, so our captain took us past some littler glaciers on the way.
This is the Clark Glacier
This is the Muir Glacier
This is the Reid Glacier
Mady spent most of her time in Glacier Bay playing on the balcony. Up the step, down the step, up the step, down the step.
She did take SOME time to enjoy the glaciers though.

The other big glacier we saw was the Johns Hopkins Glacier, named for the university of course
There was a smaller glacier right next to the Johns Hopkins Glacier, called the Lamplugh Glacier. That glacier is named after the founding president of the university.


I also took some random pictures as we cruised through Glacier Bay.
This is chunk was about the size of 4 of my cars
And what day would it be if we didn't take cheesey photos?!


Later that night was our last formal night, so we dressed up and made the most of it. Mady enjoyed walking around the ship on her own too.
All in all, Glacier Bay was one of the best days on the cruise.
Stay tuned for more fun tomorrow! :)
