It took us a long time to get to Alaska. Sonja had the great idea to bring a tent for the long lay-overs en route. As usual, I was a little skeptical. However, it worked fantastically! It kept the kids from sleeping on the airport floor. Not that airport floors are not clean or that our kids are not dirty, but it seemed better this way. They got a good rest and we were the envy of many parents. We felt our parental skills were clearly superior as we watched their children mop the floor with sweaty, drooly faces while our little angels slept cozily, wrapped in their cocoon. Safe from the discarded chewing gum and cigarette butts.
They did not sleep the whole time.
I did clean a few seats with my sweaty, drooly face.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a delightful family
and soon began to feast on berries. Lots and lots of berries!
Berries give you energy!
We saw a bunker of some sort.
We found a hole that was just right for looking at.
It also proved to be the perfect size to jump into.
The beach was lovely.
Look more skydivers!
We joined the crowd for some serious fishing.
I did not say catching. I said fishing.

A rainy day was perfect for visiting the touch tank. It has a way cool large aquarium so that we could see all the kinds of fish that we were not catching.
We did end up catching our share of fish.
We even had time to have a few of them mounted before we left.
We had a great time boogie boarding!
