Day 31!!

Sheila is FINALLY here!!!!!
But first, on our way to pick her up this morning at the airport in Anchorage we saw a mother moose and her calf. CUTE!! So we had to stop and watch them for a while. Sheila could wait.
Well we got to the airport in plenty of time. Before she came out, I noticed a guy walking out of the terminal who looked familiar. And as he passed me, it hit me!! It was the younger guy from CSI (Eric Szmanda who plays Greg)!! And not 2 minutes later the dark haired girl (Jorja Fox who played Sara) frm CSI came out too!!!! We drive through Hollywood and don't see one star and then we come to the airport in Alaska and see two!! Well, that was exciting....oh yeah and Sheila is here too. The two stars were actually on Sheila's flight.
Because she had to get up at 3am this morning to catch her flight, we kept the sightseeing down to minimum. We drove out to the glacier and onto the Kenai peninsula a bit. We are headed to the Army base tomorrow.

Day 30!!!

We hung around the cabin today enjoying the beautiful sunny day. We were careful again not to see too much before Sheila gets here. Briana and I did go exploring the river that runs through Girdwood, though. It doesn't matter which way you turn here. The view is just great. We are in a very lush valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The temperatures are hovering around 70 degrees right now. PERFECT!!! What a nice relaxing day.
