Seward

Sorry no posts yesterday but we are on vacation and have 20+ hours of daylight so I have no desire to be inside. Homer was beautiful and the weather held out. Dad spent yesterday fishing (I bought him a day of charter fishing for his Birthday) He was able to catch his limit of Halibut as well as most of the boats limit (5 keepers in total) as well as cod and groupers (bait fish). Mom and I spent the day touring the cute little artsy shops throughout Homer and walking the beach.

Today we left Homer and arrived in Seward early this afternoon. We took a six hour cruise with Kenai Fjords Tours where we captures glimpses of Dall porpoises (they move to quick to get a picture), humpbacks (including a mom and calf) orcas, eagles, puffins, and otters. We also got up close and personal with a glacier and watched in calve. We're a little windburned and sunburned but it was definitely worth it. Mom had a few moments of motion sickness but it eventually passed and she was able to enjoy the sights with the rest of us.
