I'm still catching up from our trip to Alaska in May. Toward the end of May (the 30th to be exact) we went over to check out Portage Glacier with my brother and his wife. It is about an hour's drive south of Anchorage. They have a boat that will take you out on to Portage Lake and will then zoom around the lake until you get to Portage Glacier which is flowing in to Portage Lake. This is a very popular spot with tourists because it is easily accessible from Anchorage. After we did the boat ride we drove through the tunnel into Whittier (where the weather is always shittier) and checked that small, gloomy town. We ate at a cafe that has the slowest service known to man and then we went back to Anchorage. Overall it was a fun excursion for the day.
