Alaska RVing: Alaska SeaLife Center and Exit Glacier, Seward
Our second full day in Seward would have lots of variety, and we split up for a while. Our first job of the day, though, was to find a new place to park our motorhomes. Unable to find a site at the City’s waterfront parks in town, we had...
