The adults head to Alaska

We had an opportunity to head to Seattle for a few days in March and decided to tack on a few days to see my parents in Alaska. If you don't follow their blog, here's the address: http://salishaire.blogspot.com/  They live on a boat now that they are retired and have spent the winter in Alaska. We flew into Sitka after collecting our mail and seeing a couple of people in WA (including my grandpa & surprising my grandma for her birthday)

 

We really enjoyed the bird rehabilitation centre.

 

Those are fake trees, this tiny, tiny owl mans the front desk!

 

This is the are of town next to their moorage.

Russian Orthodox church in middle of town.

 

Literally in the middle of town, traffic goes in one direction on either side.

 

We were able to check out the Bishop's house in a private tour.

 

St. Peter's by the Sea where my parents have been attending.

 

Erin at the totem park and historical information area at the other end of town.

 The park had lots of trails with totems all along the way to see.
