Washington had beautiful trees like Oregon, but lacked the sunshine and blue sky. If I had to choose between the two of them, I would pick Oregon, even though they pump your gas for you. :)
After two hours, we finally arrived in Bellingham and were just in time to board the ferry! We ran inside to get our tickets, then got back into our cars and drove right onto the ship! There was an entire deck devoted to vehicles, and it was completely filled! This is what the coastal town of Bellingham looked like.
And here's the Port of Bellingham.
The car deck on the ferry looked something like this.
The cars were strategically placed on the deck according to destination. That way, the cars can drive off without blocking each other. You can see the Juneau tag on my dashboard.
The car deck was very cold when we got on!
Unfortunately, they make you leave your pets in the car, so little Kiwi had to stay here for the entire trip. By day three, she sure was ready to get out! They had car deck calls, so there were designated periods where we could go and visit her, refill her food and water, and try to comfort her the best we could! She was a really good sport.
The ferry took about three days to get us from Bellingham, WA to Juneau, AK. Most of the trip was pretty easy, but there was a section of open water that was quite rough! You can always tell when your ship has entered open water because it usually gets bumpy. The rough patch lasted several hours. We tried to wander around the ship at first, but it was just too difficult. We ended up just going to sleep and waiting for it to pass. If you'd like to see what we experienced, just watch this video!

Eventually, at 3:30am Alaska time, we arrived in Juneau! But there were more difficulties to face once we arrived...
