Alakan Mountains....and Moose!

Hey everbody, Steph here! Sorry we haven't posted yet. We've been extrememly busy. It feels like we've been gone for weeks instead of days! Don't believe we've been that busy? Well, here's proof.

Since Sunday morning we have...

  • Ridden in 3 airplanes, a taxi, a bus, a monorail, a huge van, a rental car, and walked for many miles around Seattle and airports.
  • Been to the top of the Seattle Space Needle. (Its' amazing how easy it is to lose sight of a building that tall. We got totally lost trying to find it.)
  • Seen the famous fish-throwing fish market and the rest of the interesting (and sometimes odd) stands in the Seattle Public Market.
  • Seen 7 moose!
  • Seen a ton of bald eagles and several, well, non-bald eagles.
  • Visited an animal refuge and saw a bunch of animals including some brown bears (i.e. grizzlies)!
  • Driven from Anchrage to Soldotna.
  • Seen two active volcanoes with smoke bellowing out (pretty sweet).
  • Seen the Portage Glacier (from a distance).
  • Drove from Soldotna to Homer and drove along the Homer Spit (BEAUTIFUL!).
  • Eaten hamburgers, pizza, a pile of amazing seafood (clams, oysters, crab, shrimp), the nation's best calm chowder, halibut tacos, fried halibut, fried halibut (we like halibut), Alaskan Amber (for Dad of course), and i had my first cream soda!
  • watched "Bourne Identitiy" in our hotel room.
  • I practiced dance and dad worked out (we're not complete bums!).
  • been at the convention all day today. (it's acutually still going on, just taking a break to blog!)
  • I made a little 2 1/2 year old friend named Clara. (She was SO CUTE!)
  • Taken a ton of videos and photos that we will try to put up soon! (we're having some technical difficulty with the videos. ) =)

After the convention we're driving back to Anchorage.

Well, we miss you all and will see you when we get back! More posts to come!
