Day 6

Today we headed to the Sea Life Center, Exit Glacier, and Wildlife Conservation.
It was pretty cool to see some of the wildlife up close and personal. I was able to see Puffins, Sea Lion, Harbor Seals up close and get pretty awesome pictures.

Lunch was wonderful. We went to Ray's for an early lunch. We sat by the window on the harbor. While we were waiting for our food, we saw a otter just swimming past. I was surprised it was so close and in the harbor.

After lunch we headed to Exit Glacier. This is one of the few glaciers you can touch (if you don't get caught!!). We were able to get a good pix of the two of us before getting yelled at by the Park Ranger. Oops.

The ride back to Anchorage was very dreary and rainy. I don't think I've seen this much rain in a very long time. We arrived at the wildlife conservation park and I was finally able to see several moose. We also saw a bald eagle, black bear, brown bear, black tailed deer, porcupine, elk etc. It was cool and we were able to see them pretty close.

We arrived back in Anchorage and it was one of those day's you just wanted to get in and stay in for the evening. SO that's what I did.
