Dave, UB and Martha having a good time.

Chicago visit......

This past week end we traveled to Chicago to visit our friends Addie and Jerry and then to attend all the festivities for our nephew Charlies wedding. Our friends live in Wheaton, Ill. and this set of pictures are from our visit with them. Tomorrow I'll post some from Charley and Jill's wedding. This is on the campus of Wheaton college. Quiet lovely. The Billy Graham museum is on this campus.

We visited a lovely park called Cantigny. I've heard about it most of my life but had never been there. Beautiful grounds.

In Wheaton there is a wonderful museum dedicated to life of Billy Graham. We spent over an hour there and could have spent more time. We'll have to go back. This is Addie and I in front of one of the displays.

Back to Alaska.....

This is Glacier Bay, probably the highlight of our trip. We had extraordinary weather, no clouds, blue sky and rather warm. This is around a bend they call Jaw Drop bend, because when you come around "the bend" you have a tendency to drop your jaw. It is incredible. This is called Johns Hopkins glacier. You spend several hours here, going through very slowly, it is remarkable.

Blue Ice

I had heard about blue ice, but seeing it for real is quite the experience. You could hear it cracking.

We're all dressed up for one of our formal dress nights. I think we're pretty spiffy!
