KETCHIKAN
Our first port in Alaska was Ketchikan. My parents, Vanz and I took the 3 youngest grand kids (Sailor included) and toured the city. Here are the many, many pictures.
It was amazing weather the day we visited. One of the shop owners told us that it was the first time in 2 weeks that it had not rained! 
Grandma & Grandpa with the kids, Eagle and Orca...by the way, my Dad isn't mad. He always looks like that.
The city is an old mining town. Many of the old buildings are still there.
Yet another shot of the mining village.
One of the many totem poles we saw.
Sailor and Jack...best cousin friends. At one point Sailor said to him, "Jackson...will you come live at my house? If you miss your Mom I will take you back. You could be my brother". To which he replied, " I am not your brother...I am your cousin."
It is so hard to tell which one is the real totem pole! (Yes, those are binoculars around her neck. They were more of an accessory than a necessity).
Salmon!!
Don't ask. She wanted to pose for us.
Grandpa and the kids.
Beautiful Ketchikan!!
(if you look really close, you can see the Sea Plane coming in!)
