Saturday, July 11. 200935 days 11,102 milesOur ultimate goal was to go to Anchorage to see the Grandaughter and family. We tried to see everything between here and there going up and on the way home. I have earlier blog post about our visit with the kids. Our trip took us up thru Nebraska, the Dakota's and Canada. For the most part we had great weather. Only a couple of days of rain on our way home. At least a whole lot better than we came home too. We kinda took our time going up...we needed to be there by the 11th to spend a long weekend with the kids. In between weekends we drove to Homer Alaska to have our halibut dinner...actually we stayed there long enough for 2 dinners. WOOWOO I luv that little town and could eat the halibut everyday. The place we like is a very small cafe and the halibut is on a skewer and deep fried with a very light batter. Then we came back and stayed another weekend with the kids. We left on Sunday and drove on out of Alaska and then thru Canada a different way. Drove into Washington State and then went on over the Roosevelt Lake. We'd driven thru there one other time but this time we stayed a few days. We hit Idaho's Hell Canyon and Wyoming's Grand Tetons. We were in Nebraska for the 4th of July and didn't have many fireworks to contend with because they weren't allowed. HA RIGHT! Somehow some managed to get some in but it was quiet at bedtime Wish I could say the same for home.... when we drove in on July 5th our street looked like a war zone. The street was covered with spent fireworks and it looked like they aimed them all at our house. We are still picking up fireworks out of our yard. We had a great trip but I miss the kids already... maybe even more if that is possible. We were getting used to the 60 and 65 degree temps and came home to the 100's. I guess I'm getting "OLD" because its taking me alot longer to recoop. I took over 500 pics but have narrowed it down "alot". I had alot of fun with my newer camera. I actually took the instruction book and read it and learned some really neat new stuff about it. ENJOY my pictures...I enjoyed taking them Click on Photos to see the rest of the pictures The flowers are separate file Don't care what Husband says "I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY FLOWER" I missed a few!
