Finishing up

Have a few things in the works to write about but realized I still hadn't finished up with the Alaska trip.

The whole trip was perfect. We stayed very busy the whole week and saw a lot more then I thought we would get to. Thanks to all the coffee shacks in Anchorage and the obscene amount of daylight they have in the summer we never seemed to run out of time.

While visiting Mom's friend Janice, we visited Martin Busser's place in Palmer. Listening to his stories about the Iditarod Sled dog race made an Ironman seem like a Sunday stroll. This guy is a total hard core athlete but so is so humble and self deprecating you can't help but to like him. Janice also took us up to Hatcher pass in Wasilla were Mom saw her first moose.

We met Jesse at the airport on Saturday as he was arriving home from Combat Rescue indoc training. It was good seeing him again and his stories about their training was great motivation for my IM training. Monday we drove to Seward and got a close up look at a glacier. Tuesday we went fishing in Prince William sound. Mom showed a couple Halibut and a huge Ling Cod who was boss and then helped cut it up and package it for the plane ride back to PA. So here's all the pictures to tell the rest of the story.
