Traveling with the Grobmyers August 7, 2024 Seward= Rain rain go away…

So today’s adventures in Seward was suppose to be a cruise through the Kenai Fjords. But you guessed it. We had heavy rains all night, it’s raining today, and visibility is nonexistent. We went and talked to the cruise people first thing this morning and most cruises were canceled. And we got a refund on the cruise. This trip has been about making lemonade. So we got those lemons out and mad lemonade. We were determined to see animals again today. We went and toured Alaska SeaLife Park.

Does this look like a quilt to you?
So due to all the rain their fish tanks are murky. So admission was half price. We will take it.
This is what their tanks look like.
Captain Joe is at the wheel.








I was excited to see the puffins. They did not disappoint.











The sea lions did not care about the rain.


















We finished up there and went downtown to the quilt shop.











Then we drove out to the Exit Glacier National Park Visitor center. We could see the glacier. Water was high and swirling.

















We came back to town for lunch and then headed over to the library for the 2:00 movie about the 1964 earthquake and tsunami. They have a museum in the library as well. The library building is really cool. The tiles seem to change colors.

















Seward is known as the mural capital of Alaska. We had the map and found some of our favorites.




















They also paint their garbage cans. I got pictures of a couple. Not a bad idea.


We got some gelato before heading back to our room. I got passion fruit and Mr Vanilla got coconut. My passion fruit was really good.


Tomorrow we head back to Anchorage. I guess what we do on the way back depends on the weather and visibility.
