Our First Time Kayaking!!!





We finally got to go sea kayaking! We have been trying to get out on the water ever since we got here and finally found the time on our day off. From the pictures, you can't tell, but it was actually warm out on the water. It probably helped that we had a lot of layers including water proof jacket and pants.

When we were packing for Alaska, both of us forgot to pack hats and gloves (don't ask us what we were thinking) so we had to go to the gift shop that is inside the lodge and buy some. They will come in handy. Just for walking around, day to day, they are not really needed but when on a moving boat or along the shore and there is a wind, it can get quite cold.

Tomorrow we are going on the Up Bay Tour, which is an eight hour boat ride where we head deeper into Glacier Bay National Park, to a glacier, so the gloves and hats will probably come in handy. I have heard from people that it is a beautiful sight, but near the glacier IT IS COLD.

Great photos! Have fun on your tour today. I recently found pictures of the time we (including Ian) went kayaking in Puget Sound when visiting Jayne in Port Ludlow. It was fun!
