Alaska '08

Well, we made it to Alaska as a family and had a great time - saw lots of wildlife and loved the scenery!! Lots of water and lots of BIG mountains!! We met many nice folks, including a character in Seward who grew up in Upper Arlington, OH, has lived in Coal Creek Canyon (and Ward for you CO folks!), and had an AWESOME restuarant called The Smoke Shack! I wish we would have gotten his picture! Anyhoop, we made it to Denali, Seward and Homer... loved each one and thought about buying some real estate... we'll see... And yes - everything is BIGGER in Alaska!

Leela had some "Grizzly Bear" pancakes at The Smoke Shake ... yum, yum... cinnamon and powdered sugar underneath and chocolate chips inside and yes that is one huge dollop of butter for the nose! Did I mention we saw wildlife including bears (black and brown), moose, eagles, owls, whales (orca and humpback), sea lions, tons o' birds, dall sheep, moutain goats, snowshoe hair bunnies, sea otters, and caribou!
