July 27, 2010

So much for sleeping in. I thought this was vacation,, which to me means relaxing and resting! Apparently my husband thinks otherwise! We were up dressed, packed up, breakfast eaten, and ready to go by 8:00am. On a morning that we had nothing to do or get to? Needless to say the women of this family were less than talkative on the morning portion of the trip! Even though we were giving him the silent treatment, he didn’t seem to mind!!! Guess there will be more shopping somewhere along this trip!!

We set off out of Seward today heading home, or so we thought. We have now decided to journey to Skagway before we leave. We have to call to see if we can get on the ferry leaving Haines, before we know for sure. Should know tomorrow.

Trip today was pretty boring, (and quiet). Had to go back through Anchorage, so we decided to stop and visit the visitor center. We were told it was something we should see. It is a log cabin with a sod roof right in the middle of downtown Anchorage, other than that, not much to see! And the people who work there were less than informative. One would think if you were working for a visitors center you should have at least visited some of the cities in the State!?

Headed toward Tok today, but was really to far for today. We, girls and I, finally convinced Paul at 6pm to stop! I feel like I’m with my Dad on a family vacation when I was young, you know marathon driving, stopping for nothing until they said so!!!!! Anyway, ended up in Glenallen Alaska in a very cute little campground, that even lets us have campfires and it’s not raining! Yeah. Spent the evening around the campfire, eating the last of Paul’s fresh salmon, drinking some Alaskan beer! A nice ending to a day that started out a little sucky!!!!
