We had a quick two night trip to Valdez this past Wednesday through Friday. It was cold and rainy, but we really can't complain because most of the time when we go to Valdez we are fortunate enough to get really great, warm days... at least for one day each trip we've made. So we won't fuss too much about getting rained on this time. Here are some pictures of the trip. We met Andrew and Bryan C. in Glenallen... they flew in to Anchorage and rented a car. In Glenallen we ate a quick bite of supper (cold chicken and potato salad) then drove to Valdez together. The picture above is of Drew and Taylor "dancing" in the grass at Glenallen.
The Worthington Glacier, as seen through a dirty windshield.
Bridal Veil Falls
This little rabbit is hard to spot in this picture. They keep rabbits all around the hotels and RV parks to keep the grass "short".
Grant picked up a 4 ft. long log and dropped it in the puddle... I thought it made a neat picture to see how the water splashed.
Out in the bay
The clouds stayed about this low the whole time we were there, so you couldn't see the beautiful mountains.
The cutest little sea otter
Ahhhh, the clouds lifted for just a few minutes.
The twins' favorite thing to do in Valdez.
Three little stoogies. (spelling error intended)
Pulling in from a 13 - 14 hour day of fishing.
Lisa and I spent the day walking around Valdez, trying to dodge the raindrops.
But it was Darryl Q. and Bryan C. (sorry if I misspelled your name) who really "cleaned up". 
By this time of the night, after having been up for 16 or more hours, Andrew is feeling kinda loopy, as I, his adoring wife, look on. :)
We all got soaked.

Wow, gorgeous pictures. I remember visiting Valdez (I think).... on our TLC trip back in 1991. Beautiful pictures!
I too remember visiting Valdez on our family trip back several years ago - it was so much fun! And just beautiful!!
I loved seeing all your pictures. Miss you guys! Can't wait to see you at Christmas!
Hey! I know a fcouple of people in those pics!! The Q's and Andrew when he was in - grade.
Wow! we went to Alaska when I was 10 I am 38 now so 28 years ago they were building the Alaskan Pipeline, we drove our Rv on roads that should not have been roads, but that was when they were doing the Alaskan Highway also, what a mess, beautiful country though, Oh the memories.
Wow did that bring back memories when we went to Valdez for a couple days with Dwane and Gwen. It was foggy and rainy -- the guys couldn't go out in the boat so we fished from the shore. Heidi N. was pulling them in like crazy! We all stayed together in a mobile home but had a blast. Saw the glacier and the awesome water falls, too! What a neat trip! The scenery changed so many times along the way and I was in awe of God's creation!!!
