Valdez Trip

I have never seen so much wildlife before...beating out even the zoo. I saw moose, porcupines, rabbits, porpoise, humpback whales, killer whales, a shark, jelly fish, sea lions, sea otters, puffin, halibut, and a GRIZZLY BEAR.

We started the trip by going on a glacier cruise. We ended up getting a great view of glaciers and got to touch the ice bergs. Although it was 70 degrees at Prince William Sound, it was really cold on the water. I loved seeing the sea lions and otters. The sea lions look so fat and lazy while the otters are adorable and playful.

The next day, we went on a deep sea fishing trip which lasted 8 hours. I had never been deep sea fishing and it was a lot of fun. We didn't break any records, but I was perfectly happy with my 20-30 pound Halibut. In fact, we're having it for dinner tonight. I'm actually embarassed because when I was reeling it in, I could have sworn it was 100 lbs. Ha.

On the last day while touring the area, Trevor's mom saw a bear in the woods by the water. He was crossing under the road in order to find some fish along the shore and rocks. We immediately stopped the vehicle and I got out of the car with my camera. I KNOW it was stupid, but I was close enough to the car to where HOPEFULLY I could have made it back inside should he have decided to eat Amy instead of fish. He was amazing...and big. I'd never seen a bear before so it was an experience of a lifetime. I posted some pictures below.

On Monday I finally adopted George! He's so little (a pound and a quarter). He went to the vet today so he's not happy with me. I'll post pictures of him in the next day or two!
