Our sweet niece came to visit, so my husband and I gave her
a quick tour of Juneau, Alaska yesterday evening ~ What fun!!

 |
| Scenic Harris Boat Harbor... |
 |
| She had never visited the Local 262 Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Hall where my husband is the Business Manager for Southeast Alaska either... |
 |
| Ground floor houses the union offices, a conference room, and two bays - the second story contains the training center, a 2-bdrm. apartment, and a bunkhouse for traveling apprentices/journeymen... |
 |
| The much-used shop while training apprentices, which has three bays, and also houses several individual welding stations... |
Our niece's tour is over, although she'll be back
another day when we'll continue showing her the
sights of Juneau, Alaska...
