Alaskan Cruise Day 5...my favorite day!!! Skagway!

Wednesday morning was by far my favorite day!!! Skagway was STUNNING!!! We did not have any excursions planned so we headed out to explore the town. We figured out fast that all the towns are VERY similar ~ same stores, same junk...so we sort of made our way past the tourist and into the town.
One quick picture before we start our day ~
I am WELL on the way to being the shortest person in our house! 

Leave it to my two kids to come to Alaska and want a snowcone! 

We also tried fried bread which is a specialty in Skagway! It's basically like a fried doughnut with cinnamon and sugar...served HOT! 

Our favorite thing in every city was just walking around and looking...we took several trails and hiked...we ran into all sorts of cool things. This old train provided Jackson with a good 30 minutes of entertainment!

So pretty!!! Everywhere you looked the views were breathtaking! 

We raced on these tracks...see...we can easily entertain ourselves! I was so thankful to be on land that I wanted to WALK everywhere! ;) 

As crazy as this sounds, there was an old brothel and we bought tickets to tour. It was actually REALLY informative and cool! We learned about the history of Skagway during the gold rush. 

You could also eat there ~ but they were PACKED. The brothel is still pretty popular obviously! 

We found a spot to grab lunch before heading out to see more of the town. 

This kid had a BLAST on this trip!!! He never got sea sick, he never complained and he was WIDE OPEN the whole time! 

We hiked up a beautiful trail~ It was a good little hike, but the views were sooooo worth it! These pictures do not do justice for what we saw! The kids were actually getting along (WHAT?!?!) and had the best time just climbing and throwing rocks. 

Absolutely beautiful views!!!! We found a spot on a rock and sat there for probably 45 mins just looking and taking it all in! 

We headed back to the boat after a BUSY and fun day in Skagway and headed to supper with our family. Sweet Razz hung out with us for awhile! 

I call this "The land of YES" ~ we pretty much say YES to every request! ;) 

After supper, we all went bowling! We had a blast! Jackson won on the last frame! 

Jackson was tired and headed to bed, but we headed to karaoke! Mary Dalton and I WON and got a "ticket" to the final! It was SUCH a fun night and definitely my favorite day on the whole cruise!! ! 

We went dancing after karaoke and crashed WAY past our bedtime! Super fun ending to an awesome day!
