Loving Alaska: Orca Island and Train Time

It was a whirlwind of travel but a wonderful way to see a few new places before we start our road trip east on Saturday. For this trip we left no travel stone unturned, we took a plane to Anchorage, a bus to Seward, a water taxi to Orca Island, relaxed for two days, water taxied back to Seward, took a car to Anchorage, and finally, the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Whew.
Lots of pretty and fun things along the way!

Great Post – loving your photos! Love to stay in a Yurt. Have a Great Day:)
Fun family va-cay!! I thought you and Lucas were already up in canada. That’s why I never called you back! Sorry! I will try you tomorrow [Friday]! Hugs! Katie
Whoaaaa, wonderful pictures of a wonderful experience. I particularly like the starfish ones!
And so ends a page in your lives. Beautiful to see your parents help to turn the page.
Never-ending beauty. Orca island looks fabulous.
amazing! I’m so jealous of yurt-living, though I wonder what the kitchen amenities are like
Delicious photos! I hope to make it up there one of these trips!
