Seward to Colorado

We camped for 2 nights and stayed in a cabin for 2 nights in the beautiful port town of Seward. We took a scenic boat tour to Kenai Fjords National Park and saw Humpback whales, killer whales, porpoises, sea otters, sea lions, seals, puffins, rocky islands, icebergs and calving glaciers! Seeing a family of killer whales swim under our boat, a pair of humpbacks lunge feed out of water right next to the boat and hearing the thundering crash of house sized ice fall hundreds off the glacier face into the ocean were awe inspiring! Jacob scrambled up the seeming vertical Mt. Marathon and was so sore that he could barely walk up to the face of the Exit Glacier.  We had rented a cabin in celebration of a succussful tour and layed in the comfy bed nearly all day listening to rain on the roof and leaves. We took the train to Anchorage, where we got tattoos and piercings and boarded the plane home. We arrived back home to Colorado excited to see our family, friends, Charles and home. We could not have dreamed of a better trip and the 60 days that we were gone seemed like they went by in a flash of time. We feel so lucky to be able to live this life, our minds feel clear, our bodies feel healthy, we are so glad for all of the people that we know and are in constant awe of the beauty of the natural world. The tour has ended but since "each day is how we spend our lives" we know that this is neither an end nor a beginning, it is another experience in our lives.
