Juneau

We couldn't go to Southeast Alaska and not visit Juneau!

My (Ann's) brother Terry, and his family; Tracey, Thane, Melissa & Rebecca. We took the tram up to Mt Roberts and then hiked further up the mountain.
It was one of those gorgeous days in Southeast Alaska when you almost want to move back (then it started raining again...). Looking down Tracy Arm - south of Juneau.
Best sister in law ever! (Then again my brothers have married some pretty crazy ladies...) ;)
Melissa and Rebecca on a very cool toy...
Michael had a layover in Juneau for a few hours so we all went to the park - had to get this picture for Grandma Maxwell!
Michael, Scott, Terry and Thane...
On the way up the Mt Roberts Tram...downtown Juneau and looking across to Douglas Island.
An Eagle from the Raptor Center up on Mt Roberts.
Saw a grouse on the trail...
It is really tough to get everybody to look at the camera at the same time when all they want to do is climb the tree!
This is looking towards the Valley - you can see the airport runway...
Thought this was a beautiful picture - had to wait a few minutes for the tourists to get out of the way...
It was fun to watch this para-sailer catch the wind drafts...

A little farther up - with downtown and the valley in one shot...
Coming back down the tram - advertising space is valuable!
We went to the beach one of the days we were there...it was fun to explore with the girls.
What a cute family!
Melissa and Rebecca showing off for us - it's so much fun being Auntie and Uncle instead of being Mom and Dad! :)

I liked all of the textures going on in this picture...rock, wood, dirt, plants...
Believe it or not we weren't posing - after 22 years we still like each other... :)
