Since we have family here, we are taking them everywhere to see the sights. It is really fun for me too. They could probably care less, but I am really getting into it. ha.
Yesterday, we visited Portage Glacier, the Nature preservation, visited the little hippy town of Girdwood, and made a stop at one of our favorite pizza places in ALaska. The Coast Pizzeria. It a hole in the wall place that Kyle always stops at one his way home from snowboarding. It was a fun day. The ultimate highlight for me was that while we were in Girdwood we saw several cars stopping by the side of the road. In Alaska that usually means everyone is stopping to take pictures of an animal like a moose or something. I looked and right next to the suburban was a Mommy black bear and three bear cubs. If we had not been driving I could have reached out and touched them. They were so cute and cuddly looking. It was totally the highlight of my day and almost year! I have lived in ALaska for almost 2 years and never actually seen one bear in the wild. Only like at the zoo or something. It was awesome. Now I can say I saw a bear while living in Alaska! :)

oh how cool is that! Did i hear you say suburban - do you have a suburban? or did you rent it or something? gotta love the gas prices in those things right now - I have parked mine for the time being.
ughh!
We can't fit everyone in my little saturn so our friend allowed us to borrow their suburban for the next week or so. The gas is expensive, but it's much better than taking two cars everywhere we want to go.
It's so roomy. I wished my saturn had a third row it would be perfect. It's not that great looking of a vehicle because it's five years old, but it gets good gas mileage and is paid for! :)
