Our long, wonderful journey has come to an end. The Rosenberg portion of the group is heading to the airport at 5:15 tomorrow morning. That is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too early for my taste, but I was not consulted when flights were booked. Sigh.
Today was nearly a perfect bookend to our trip. For those of you reading this who were not on the trip, you may recall the "train incident" that took place in Illinois. Today, the plan was to take a train back and forth to Seward for our whale watching. We got to the station and learned the trains were all canceled because of a rock slide on the tracks. We ended up on a bus both ways. Though not as comfortable, it was a much quicker trip - yay for that! The "whale watch" turned out to be more of a wildlife boat tour - we didn't see any whales. We did see some sea lions, a whole lot of birds, some brief glimpses of some porpoises, some funny looking puffins (which made Sarah VERY happy), a really cute sea otter, and one very unhappy Sophie. It was not a good day for her at all - it seems she is teething again. She was quite cheerful during our goodbyes, though, so I forgive her :)
Assuming tomorrow's travel plans all go according to schedule, my next post should be from the comforts of home. The trip has been amazing - I saw so many wonderful things and spent lots of good time with family. But it is time to go home, and I think we all ready.
