After dropping off the boys for their flight home early in the morning, we picked up Elizabeth and Niall late in the evening at the Anchorage Airport. We went to the zoo one day, then went on a train-rafting trip to the Placer River and Spencer glacier.

This berg looked like the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.

Ice from a berg, so clear it reflects the color of the jacket on the person in front of me.
Trying to see the bore tide, we at least got great views of the Turnagain Arm.
