Our second stop in Alaska also happens to be the capital of Alaska Interesting fact about Juneau, there are no roads out of Juneau that go to any other town. The only way to get to/from Juneau is by air or sea. You can't actually drive anywhere that far.

The kids wanting adventure I chose the Mendenhall Galcier Lake Canoe where we would canoe across Mendenhall Lake to get an up close look at what's left of the once huge glacier. It was a lot of work but also fun. The weather started out crappy. It was cold and drizzly but by the time we started the canoe trip the sun was already poking out and warming up. By the end of the trip the sun was out and the views were spectacular. A great day to spend the day.
