| I had a four-day weekend to go down to Kenai Fjords National Park. Here I am at the Harding Ice Field. |

| One day I got to go on a boat cruise around the fjords. (Thanks to my friend Ryan!) Here are some Harbor Seals I saw on the trip. |
 |
| And here are some Stellar Sea Lions - they looked like they were lovin' life! |
 |
| And of course, the sea otter was curious about us! |
 |
| Some beautiful rock formations in Resurrection Bay |
 |
| We approached this glacier and got to see and hear it calving! |
