I made it to Alaska...

Ketchikan...I finally made it!!

So after a wonderful two week West Coast road-trip, I finally made it! 

My flight left Seattle at about 7 PM west coast time (10 PM for all of you at home on the east coast). Thankfully dad's flight was a couple hours later so we got to hang out in the airport before my flight, and he got this lovely picture of my plane.

I had a great flight and arrived in Ketchikan at 7:50 PM local time (about midnight for all of you at home...yes it is a 4 hour time difference). Ketchikan is known because it is the rainiest city in North America...but the movement my plane touched down there was a beautiful rainbow! I'm taking that as a sign of the wonderful summer to come!

Creek Street

After a good nights sleep it was time to face the rain head on and check out a few things around town! Most of the places are still closed since tourists don't officially arrive until this weekend, but we still managed to find a few neat places. We took a walk up creek street and found a cute little trail that ran along a creek to a salmon ladder (it helps the fish get up stream), and it led us to an adorable little bookstore. We also went into work and did some paperwork...but basically today was a day for relaxing and exploring. 

I have one more day to relax and explore before work starts Wednesday! I'm looking forward to the wonderful season that we are going to have here! I'm sure it will be full of new friends and wonderful adventures...and I will keep you updated on them all!
