Seward trip


We decided it wasn't wintery enough yet, so we had to go visit a glacier near Seward. The first 2 pictures are in our house and the next are all by Exit Glacier. We both remembered the hike up to the glacier being paved, so we brought the stroller along. Needless to say, we abandoned it about halfway up. If it was raining we probably would have quit there, but it was warm and clear enough to keep going. The pictures are kind of deceiving... it looks like we can reach out and touch the glacier, but there's actually a pretty big crevasse between us and the side. We decided not to climb over the barricades to touch the pretty ice - there's a $5,000 fine, and the potential for ice calving and crushing us. Maybe next time.

Continuing to "winterize" the house...
