Alaska #7: Ketchikan

This will be my last Alaska post!  Our last port stop was Ketchikan, and it was a really fun stop.  We spent the day hanging out, and we started off our day by going to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, which was such a fun time!  It is AMAZING what those guys can do!!  They were really funny too, so we had a blast watching that.

After that, we went to lunch at Annabelle's Famous Keg & Chowder House, and it was delicious!  I'm not a big seafood fan and neither is my mom, but Kevin and my dad both had the chowder and loved it.

After lunch we wandered around the town a bit and then we picked up a Self-Guided Tour brochure from the Visitor's Center.  We followed the self-guided tour and checked out the cool river where a lot of salmon spawn, and we made our way over to the Totem Heritage Center!  They had some amazing totems. It was cool to see some of the really old totems, and to read this history of totems in Ketchikan.

After the Totem Heritage Center, we continued our self-guided tour and ended up in the Creek Street area!  There's tons of cool shops that carry stuff from local artists, and this is also home to the famous Dolly's House (it used to be a brothel). 

Our trip went by so fast!  Ketchikan was our last port, and the next day we were sailing all day, and then the next day we caught our flights back home!!  It was such a fun trip, and it was SO fun to get to experience this with my parents and Kevin!   We had so much fun at all of the ports, as well as on the ship when we were just hanging out, or when we were going to dinner on the ship!
