Alaska trip -Aug 2011

us on the open part of the ferry--looking at glaciers
look at the blue lines in the background--
I am so happy cause I couldn't believe I was there

us on the hand pulled tram across gorge
this is the size of the basket you are in

view of the glacier from the ferry--magnificent

part of rain forrest hike --

glacier at portage

kaci being cute and saying cute little things every day --best part of the trip

all you could eat soup and sour dough rolls at a bake shop at a ski resort in Girwood after being all soaked and chilly hiking through the rain forrest (that really was only the one rainy day we had)

picutrue of coastal bike trail we road along

more of glaciers we saw at portage --some of the glacier had just fallen off within the past hour before our boat tour

Forrest smiling and trying to walk and playing peek a boo and blocks and being with us was our favovrite part of being in Alaska --

girl at the bake shop serving up fabulous huge sweet roll for us (I actually found this on the web)
but we did have a sweet roll there and oh yeah --it was good as was the brownie we tasted

looking up at the many huge trees we saw while on the bike trails--such as chester bike trail and goose lake--oh what a beautiful world we have and a bunch of that beauty is in Anchorage Alaska and surrounding parts.
brad stayed home from going with the young men out to the sand dunes--on wed..just to visit with us--hope his family gets to go there some other time.. some other places not pictured were:
*picking blueberries on the mountain side
*library-
*making pie_(thanks Kerri for teaching me to make the filling and so many other things I learned from you--I love to hang around you just to see how you do things)
*we went Ice skating at an in door rink--
*to the park
*on bike trails near their home--and goose lake--saw a moose and calf on the bike trail
*went to a 'greasy hamburgar" type place with homemade onion rings and great food..
*went to see salmon swim in the stream at potter's marsh
* went downtown achorage
*hiked a mountain trail called flat top--and had the view of the ocean and city and surrounding mts and glaciers--it was worth the climb
*stayed home just to enjoy each other and ate in the back yard, played volleyball, hopscotch and visited, and it was all just so fun--I could go on and on--I wish this trip on anyone--brad and kerrri rolled out the red carpet and took fabulous care of us and made us feel so at home --we had a ball.
