We made it back again from an other fun trip from Alaska.
Since I don't have time to talk about everything we did, I will just do highlight.
We watch Mountain Goats walk were no one should be able to.
A Grizzly bear eating berry's high in a open mountain hillside.
Pink Salmon making their way up stream.
Birds from the Arctic Tundra making their way south for the winter.
Black bear cubs, being cubs in the marsh grass.
Walking on beaches and looking in tidal pools for sea life.
Watching whales in a channel as the tide came in.
Listening to the groan of the glaciers move.
Getting off the main roads.
Eating in places, you know your mother would not approve of.
But most of all, vacationing in Alaska was all about understanding why we love it some much.

Ya, I know this was not much of a stretch for us come up with a costume for a Halloween party at Chris and Krista's. We came as the eccentric Aunt and Uncle.

The party was blessed by Father O'Patrick and the expecting Sister Angie
This has been the year of airports, rental cars and hotels. However, I have had time to take some side trips. On a recent trip to Portland OR I visited the Japanese gardens. They are said to be one of the best and oldest in the country. I did take away several ideas for our back yard. Now if I can only get Kim to go along with them.
