Wednesday, June 5: Tracy Arm
We planned on sleeping in and ordering room service, but Bj didn't sleep well and ended getting up and ready around 7 which made me get up too. Todays destination is Tracy Arm Fjord "cruising". After I got ready I spent quite a while searching for him. I ended up in my parents room watching the breathtaking scenery pass by. I went for a second search for Bj and found him on the promenade deck right on the bow watching the same amazing scenes. There were towering cliffs with dozens of cascading and streaming waterfalls emptying into the ocean. When we arrived at the glacier, it was absolutely incredible. There was so much to see; the iceberg its self was totally stare-worthy, seals sunning on ice, a seal giving birth, an eagle eating the afterbirth, and even more of the previous waterfalls and lush rain forestation. It was seriously the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. We spent most of the day with binoculars glued to our eyes. The hard thing about today's sightseeing day was how surprisingly exhausting it was! Watching all that nature happen wore me out! Anyway, we met up with the family for dinner. Warren, our server, does such a great job and we really look forward to out dinner reservation. After dinner we went to a comedian show who had us in tears. He made a crack about old men being able to get away with wearing mismatched clothes and we all, sitting on the front row, immediately thought of dads formal night outfit of a blue shirt, red/white and blue tie, white dinner jacket and salmon colored pants. We couldn't contain out laughter and I even pointed at dad to which the comedian caught and responded, "stop pointing at him, you aren't allowed to say anything, he probably paid for your cruise!" That really set us off. We laughed ourselves in pain! Then he commented on couples and saw Carrie affirming his joke with a laugh and a nod and he said to her, "what are you laughing about, you don't know, what are you...15?" He was so funny, and refreshingly clean! Some of us weren't quite ready for bed so we found an off beat table and played a round of hand and foot before we called it a night. Apparently Rich and KJ were entertaining the masses in the Piazza with their dance moves. The video Carrie showed us was hilarious! People were high-fiving Rich as we walked around the next day.
