We had a day between graduation events while Mom and Dad were here. To fill in the time we decided to take a trip to Skagway. It is a beautiful drive there through the mountains, with a long descent down into the town. It is right on the ocean and when we arrived it was COLD! The first store we stopped in had nice fleece lined, reversible jackets on sale so Grandma and Hannah decided to be twins:
We managed to ditch the men and spent some time in the warm stores, just browsing. This bear was just waiting to give me a hug.
For lunch we went to an old brothel. It was fun to experience the history. When we arrived there was an old miner playing the piano - he was fabulous. I wish he would have kept playing. I didn't even have a chance to get my camera out and take a picture of him.
Josh had these very yummy chili nachos.
Hannah enjoyed this hummus with veggies and pita bread. The rest of us had sandwiches (not worth taking pictures of, although they were really good).
After lunch we went on a ride on the White Pass steam engine. It went up through the mountains basically following one of the trails used by prospectors coming for the Klondike Gold Rush. It was beautiful.
We had a fabulous time exploring the town. On the way home there was a black bear on the side of the road. We stopped to watch and he just ignored us. Hannah was calling him, but he just kept on eating like we weren't there. We arrived back at the campsite exhausted - except Dad who slept most of the way home. LOL

What a fantastic day! Question: was it Brian's idea to eat in an old brothel? I thought maybe he was getting ideas for his senior's orgy palace. ;)
How'd you guess? I had forgotten about the palace - that was probably the incentive. LOL.
