We cruise on Discovery Princess June 2027. We start in Vancouver and end in Whittier then do the land portion in Denali.
We are traveling with my mother and father in law, brother in law, husband, and our 2 children ages 8 and 10.

Right now, we have all booked the "EXPERIENCE THE YUKON & SUSPENSION BRIDGE" tour through Princess.

From what I gather, it follows the same route as the train and you stop at a place with sled dogs and gold panning as well as the suspension bridge and some other places to take pictures. It's 8.25 hrs long.

My mother in law is really excited about it. She likes that she can see nice views and that our kids can have fun with the dogs. We picked this over the train because we will already be doing a train ride from Whittier to Denali.

My concern is that it's SUCH a long time on a bus. We will be visiting a suspension bridge or 2 in Vancouver already. And the videos I've seen online of the sled dog place looks not great in my opinion. (The petting zoo is just goats and my kids won't eat the food and I'm not a fan of taxidermy)

BUT I also don't really have an alternative excursion to offer her. I'd love to do something similar that doesn't last as long. I just hate the idea of bringing my kids iPads on what's supposed to be a great excursion exploring Alaska but also it's unrealistic for me to think they will be interested in looking out a bus window on and off for 5 hrs (the amount of time the website says we will be traveling) no matter how pretty it is.

Any suggestions on an excursion that will fulfill my mother in laws desire to "see it all" but also keep my kids entertained in Skagway? Originally I wanted to rent our own car but they didn't want to do that.

I took my first shot exactly 1 month ago. Since then, I've been actually motivated to exercise (I do a lot of dance workout videos on YouTube!) and eat mindfully for the first time in my entire life.

I've struggled with my weight for the past 15 years, basically since graduating college and getting a real job, then getting married. Then I gained a lot if weight in both my pregnancies and just haven't been able to lose basically at all since I had my son almost 7 years ago!

I'd always start trying to exercise but I'd always finish a workout and be starving the rest of the day and eat more calories than I had burned working out! Since I knew working out would just make me hungry, I stopped trying.

I also worked with a nutritional counselor for nearly 2 years and while I learned SO much about intuitive eating, I could never really stick to it.

With Zepbound, I'm able to workout for 30-60 minutes each day, enjoy myself, have a protein drink after, and not binge eat the rest of the day!

I can actually use the intuitive eating knowledge I have to eat in a way that is still emotionally satisfying but doesn't over do it like I used to.

I think knowing that I'm not going to be craving 1000 extra calories once my kids are in bed has just really motivated me to be healthier all around!
