Day 8: Seward to Anchorage

The last port on the ship was in Seward, AK and you have to either take a bus or a train to Anchorage. We decided on the train ride. It took about 4 1/2 hours but the scenery was beautiful!

 Everyone was exhausted!

 The whole top of the train was all windows - great for seeing everything.

 You've got to look close... I love that everyone has their planes parked in their backyards.

 Me and papa Steve! (and Sharon photo bombing) He's the one that made this whole trip possible for all of us! We love you dad!

 Awe... cute!

 Dad and his girls....

 All us girls with our mom. This was taken just before she scared the heck out of all of us by passing out all weird! It was seriously so scary!!! We all thought she was dying! Luckily there were 3 doctors and 2 nurses that were riding the train with us that were there to help within a couple of minutes.

 We finally got to Anchorage and had about 12 hours before any of our flights left for home... so naturally, we all took taxi's to the nearest mall and went to eat at Chili's. (It had been like 6 whole hours since we had eaten!)

 We spend the WHOLE day wandering around this massive mall and goofing off!

 Stop poking the bear dad!

 We're hilarious!

 Buddy could always be found somewhere within the mall taking a nap.

 This mall was SO huge it had a dang ice skating rink in it! It also had movie theaters, bowling, office suites, karate lessons, dance studios..... it was big!

We were told the bathrooms in the mall were haunted. Here I was trying to get proof... Nothing showed up in the pictures, but we did have a freaky thing happen with one of the doors being locked - and then all of a sudden not locked. It WAS haunted.

 We were all so tired that we went to "Ant Man". These theaters were awesome!!! Every single seat was a leather recliner! Sweet!!!

 What? We still have 6 hours before our flight leaves... might as well go bowling too.

 Anchorage airport

 Like I said... my brother can sleep anywhere... Him and Pat.

Well, 837 pictures later, that concludes our Alaskan cruise! We had a ball! Thanks again Mom & Dad! We love you!!!
