Day 32: Sunday, June 16, 2013.

Henry’s Father’s Day present was he didn’t have to tow the RV anywhere! He got to relax and enjoy the day.

Blondie and I started the day with an early morning stroll through downtown Skagway. As I walked along the boardwalks gazing at the historic buildings I could imagine what it must have been like during the Gold Rush days in 1898.

This is what I saw when I stepped out of the RV this morning

Skagway Visitor’s Center is one of the most photographed buildings in Alaska
Skagway Centenial Statue. The sculptor was killed in a plane crass two days ago.

Later on, Henry and I enjoyed breakfast at the Sweet Tooth Cafe before going for a drive back up the highway to enjoy the views we couldn’t stop to look at on our way to Skagway.

Fish and Chips at the Skagway Brewing Company with a Prospector’s Ale was a great way to end the day.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to start our Alaska adventure than Skagway. We love it here.
