Juneau--The Afternoon

After our great hike around the glacier, we officially became citizens of Alaska. Yea! Our experience with the Juneau DMV was one of the most positive and customer friendly places I have ever visited. Wow--it's amazing what good customer service can do for a DMV visit.

Following this we took a few recommendations from friend and Juneau native, Erin Shine. Lunch at the Hanger, snacks at the Silverbow Bakery, and exploring around the town. Our first trip was to drive the major highway (7) in Juneau from end to end--beautiful drive and you can truly do it in less than an hour. Plus it was raining and the city was quickly being surrounded by clouds so another hike was out of the question. Then we went to the Alaskan Brewery--highly recommended by several--to enjoy a few brews. After our beers we took a drive around the Govenor's Mansion--nice views, modest house (unlike in Idaho).

Throughout some of our photos you will see a sombrero with Mickey ears...this is a present from Ashlee to Chuck. We thought it would be funny to treat it like "Flat Stanley".
