A trip to the sea...

  

Icebergs and sea otters and whales... how can one not love the Alaskan sea? The Vial family had quite the adventure while enjoying a quick getaway to the coast.  Miss Riley was introduced to all kinds of new things, from flying in an airplane to listening to a colony of sea lions up close. (Actually, a group of Sea Lions is a called a Raft. No joke.)

Lots of sea life, lots of yummy food, and some great times spent with good friends made this trip extra special for us. And the gloriously hot showers were an added bonus. It was a breath of fresh air for the soul. 
Our bush plane awaits! 
feeding and flying
Hmm... maybe she'll be a DJ someday



just waiting to be explored....
ferry boats rock. 


Lovin' every minute! 

Boisterous little fellas
