Jumping back to our trip in 2021. I wanted to share some photos of our trip to Whittier. This was after Fairbanks, Denali, Kenai, Seward, and Anchorage.

We were staying with Doug and Linda Jonas, my Uncle and Aunt, in Anchorage. They had a boat out in Whittier, which we were going to visit.

To get to Whittier, we had to use the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. It is 2.5 miles long and the tunnel is shared with a train.

You can see from the photos, it was a fairly overcast day. But the temperatures were mild, probably 60s all day.

I don’t remember all the details, but the boat is named after Walter William Kamstra (1924 – 1993) and Colleen Mary Andra Jonas Lloyd (1928 – 1999).

We goofed around most of the afternoon on the boat.

Finally, it was getting late in the day we needed to head back to Anchorage. You could see a glacier on the mountains from Whittier.

One of the interesting things about Alaska is because they have such long days, and really pretty mild, their flowers can grow very large. On the way back to Anchorage we stopped at The Bake Shop in Girdwood to get some ice cream. Some really great pictures with flowers, like we did in Anchorage.

This was our last day with Doug and Linda. We headed back on our travels throughout Alaska the next day. I shared a couple of those photos previously of our saying goodbye.
