Alaska!! Part 4.

Thursday’s port was Sitka! Most cruise ships don’t stop here, so it was a real treat for us! We had to get from the ship to the dock on the lifeboats, because of how small the port is. Such a cute tiny town. They are famous for their reindeer dogs, so of course we had to try one. But, not before we had a lot of fun doing something that seemed totally crazy in the morning… snorkeling. In a dry suit, so we didn’t get wet besides our faces and hands. And it was surprisingly warm and really fun!! There were a lot of cool things to see, especially starfish and sea stars. I held a ton of both, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Masen and Kyle both had a Go Pro, and they took them underwater for some cool pictures! 




Afterwards, we met up with my mom and dad and ate the reindeer dogs, and walked around town. We found a lot of fun totem poles, one of which was probably at least 2 miles from where we got on/off the lifeboats. Kyle, Masen and I were running late to catch the last boat to take us back to the Oosterdam, so Kyle grabbed a biker with a passenger cart, and the three of us rode back on it. I probably had a little too much fun doing that. And the highlight of the day? Kyle found this awesome wolf hat. Just kidding, it wasn’t the highlight. But he sure loved it! Haha!
