Three weeks in Alaska, is it ever enough?
Maybe! Heidi & I just returned from
Alaska and at the end of 3-weeks it was
good to be home..
We didn’t do a lot of site seeing on this
trip. We were trying to just lay around
and visit with the grandchildren. We did
spend a day in Seward, Homer and
Anchorage. However we should have
planned 2 days for Seward.
Seward had a Music & Arts fetival going
on. Crafts from the local boroughs were
on display and to
purchase. Music
was provided by
the local bands in the area. You could
also vote for the one you enjoyed the
most.
The Kasilof Mercantile is a very busy place, we stopped there everyday.
It’s where Destiny and Rocky work along with Rocky’s parents Bob &
Mary Laster. The store has just about everything you need. We were
there in the off season (thank goodness) but its hard to imagine the
place being busier as there is always a line to the checkouts.
The store has a cafe, grocery store, hardware store, fishing tackle and
video store. You can also call or stop in and get a great pizza or
icecream sundae to go.
Welcome
Exit Glacier above was one of
the places I really wanted to see
again while we were there. It
was amazing to see how much it
has melted since 2007. It
looked about half the size. No
global warming here !!
Bob and Mary finally got thier
house done on South Coho Loop.
It has a great view of the Ocean
from every room in the house.
They designed it so they could
turn it into a Bed & Breakfast
house later on. If they ever do
this will be a great place to stay.
