Happy 4th of July everyone!!! If you visit Alaska remember to take your rain jacket. Lol! It is so lush and green here and most of that is due to the fact that it rains all the time. The first time that I visited here we arrived and it was beautiful and sunny. I had no idea that it was not normal for that time of the year. It was so beautiful that day and it rained the remaining time we were there. Today was just misty and foggy. The fog hung low around the mountains but that didn’t stop the float planes from flying all day long.
As you can see, I woke up this morning to 4 cruise ships in town. Ashleigh said there will be 7 ships here tomorrow. The downtown streets are brimming with people everywhere and the shops are packed with all kinds of goodies. I plan on going there tomorrow and walking the street and taking pictures. These pictures are just on Ashleigh’s balcony and you can see the houses in front of her house and the construction that is going on in her driveway. I layered today by wearing a Crown and Ivy navy button up shirt with white and pink chihuahua on it and a pink and blue zip up vest. This kept me plenty warm since the temperature was in the high 50’s. Joe layered too with a long sleeve zip shirt and one of his favorite jackets. He took out the extra lining of the jacket though because he runs warmer than I do. I am always freezing and he is usually burning up. We went downtown to meet Ashleigh for lunch. Then we took her car and rode around for a couple hours to just go exploring. We went and did a little shopping (gasp) but Joe is the only one who bought something. Lol! I waited until Ashleigh got off work and then we went to another store where she and I bought several things. I told her that I got to wear them while I was here in Juneau and then she could keep them if she wanted. She jumped at that offer. Lol!
Bald Eagles are EVERYWHERE here. If you look in the trees you will see more of them. Their heads look like golf balls in the trees. Joe and I were standing in front of Ashleigh’s big picture window this morning. This huge Bald Eagle came flying right at us and at just the last minute it flew over the house. Joe was scrambling trying to get his phone out to get a picture but he wasn’t fast enough.I had to dig my boots out to bring with me. This is a far cry from my sandals that I have been wearing lately but I love this look. I also brought my Hunter rain boots with me so you might see those later in the week. I want to remind you that Rodan and Fields still have the fantastic offer of 20% off the purchase of any Regimen and Lash Boost combo.

I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.
I’m so sad that you had such poor weather. I have lived in Alaska all of my life and this summer is not the usual. It’s one of the worst summer we have ever had. Last summer it was so nice. In the high 70’s and 80’s. I’m glad you still think it is beautiful. The darkness in the winter is hard to get used to but other than that I just love it here. I hope you’re visit was a fun and interesting one despite this cold wet weather. Love following your posts on Pinterest.

Pictures are absolutely beautiful. Just curious, what does Ashleigh do for work in Alaska? And what brought her there? Thanks
She came to Alaska for college and loves it. She works for the State in the Department of Law right now.
