We got to go for a ride with the Juneau Steamboat Company. The ride took us down the channel to look at the remains of the Treadwell Mining area. It was really neat, and Elise did great for her first time on a boat!
This is the steamboat:

Elise, a cutie!:
She did so good, was standing up, looking around, and then got tuckered out and went to sleep on my lap for the last half of the trip:
It was really neat to 'play tourist', to see different parts of Juneau, learn more about the history of this interesting place, and even see a humpback whale on the way back! With everything being so expensive, this is actually one of the few things we can afford to do as tourists. We recommend this little ride to anyone who comes to Juneau!!
