Juneau to Haines

On the morning of our last ferry ride, from Juneau to Haines, we had time to visit the State Museum. We had heard that it was not to be missed! After a couple of hours, we all had to agree that it was time well spent. We learned so much about Alaska's history!

John, Alyce and I outside the museum.


Alyce and I are enjoying an eagle exhibit
Tony and I were interested in this exhibit what showed the part of Alaskan history played by President Dwight Eisenhower. He signed the bill making Alaska a state.



Here we are waiting for the ferry to Haines.

Tony was able to get several shots of a pod of whales from the ferry as we made our way toward Haines.












Again, the Alaskan scenery is breathtaking!!


We saw a couple of lighthouses on this trip.





Here I am on the ferry in front of another of Alaska's snow capped mountains!


The Malaspina, docked at Haines
Upon arrival at 9:30 pm, we checked into the Oceanside RV Park in Haines. We had called ahead for a reservation since we were getting in so late. It's a good thing because they had no room to spare. The spot was right on the waterfront within easy walking distance of town.
