Today, one year ago, I was in the air on the way to Alaska. I've been thinking about that trip all day long. I will never forget the wonderful time it was.
The Alaskan Airline plane landed in Anchorage at about 11:30 p.m. and the sun was still shining on the beautiful water of Cook Inlet and
Turnagin Arm. By the time my time was over Gregg (my son in law) had flown me along
Tustemena Lake and the
Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, around Halibut cove and then on over to Homer and Homer Spit. We had rafted on the
Kenai River and we ate at the top of the mountain at
Girdwood and a gorgeous place called Seven Glaciers Restaurant. And that's just for starters. Between Bean and Gregg I got a pretty good feeling for the place where they live and it was so, so hard to leave the Land of the Midnight Sun.
Amanda caught this fish - the first one she ever caught. It's a 31 lb. King or Chinook Salmon.
She's never killed anything in her life and has been a vegetarian for a long time.
I think her face says it all.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you must have had up there! The cruise ships headed for Alaska stop in Victoria nearly daily in the summer time. I'd love to jump on!
Alaska is a place that I have always wanted to visit and hopefully I will get there one day. By the way, did you cook the salmon and if so, was it goo??

I know that must have been so special Diane. I've never been to Alaska, but would love to go someday. How funny that the vegetarian would catch the "big fish!"
ReplyDeleteOhMyGoodness, your trip sounds like it was fantastic. And that salmon!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been working a lot outdoors and have missed visiting, so I'm catching up w/ your posts.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
