Our next stop brought us to Skagway. This little town was a major center for the Alaska gold rush in days of yore. Now it's a tourist town with a population around 1000 people and 700,000 visitors per year (mostly from the cruise ships). Lulu and Pop treated us to a train ride on a beautiful narrow gauge railroad up into the scenic mountains and all the way to Canada! The three hour adventure was thrilling for the Maya and Santi who both LOVE trains.
After the train ride, Mommy took advantage of the great weather and went on a little hike with Lulu, Pop, and Coco.

Here we go.
Didn't hear this interaction, but it looks like it started with Santi saying, "I'm gonna tell you something you need to hear. You may not like it, but you better just listen."
Passing a suspension bridge. Cool!

Sun is overrated.
