Alaska

As many of you know, Sammy travels for his job. I can't get into it on here, but if you were wondering what he does, you'll have to email or something. Anyway. so sometimes I get to go with him, and we went to Alaska. We left on Friday the 13th and came home today, Sunday the 15th. Granted we left here on Friday at 9 pm, arrived in Alaska on Saturday morning, at 12 am. (which was 2 our time). We went and found our hotel and slept in late. We had all day to kinda walk around town, but Sammy had been sick the last couple of days, and so we just went out for breakfast, and came back and hung around the hotel and took a nap. Then we woke up and went for dinner ish, and after that he was feeling a bit better, and we decided to see where the ocean was. We kinda didnt really know where Anchorage Alaska was, but we found out it was on a penninsula. A really nice guy at Subway kinda pointed us in the direction of the water. Mind you, it was probably 24 degree's all day, plus a blowing wind. But we kinda ended up CLOSE enough to the water, that i got out and ran as far as I could with out being too cold to run back to the car, and I snapped a picture. I ran back, and Sammy wanted a picture of the car we were driving and the roads, uh, they dont plow ALL the roads out there. And when they DO plow, they just kinda do it in the lanes. The dont plow the WHOLE road. That was interesting. So it was like ice, and snow and packed snow, that we were driving on. It was kinda scary. After the park, we decided to see what else there was to see in Anchorage. After a while we ended up downtown, and we wanted to see the mall, it was huge, it had 5 stories, but for some reason, they were closing it for the night. It was only 8 pm people!!! So we hurried and got some pic's inside the mall, and since it is so cold there, they have walkway's down town. That are above the ground and you can kinda get around downtown that way.So we took some pictures, and then we had to drive back to our hotel and get our stuff and leave.On our flight back to SLC, we REALLY did see the northern lights. The one we saw was faint and green. It was soo cool. So then our flight left on sat night/sun morning, i think our flight left at 1 am (so that would be 3 am utah time) and we flew thru the night, and we got in about 730 am. Sammy and I only slept about 2 hours on the flight. Bein in first class they keep asking what you want to drink, and they bring you sandwhich, and all sorts of fun stuff, that you want to be up for. Anyway. We're back and here is some pictures.
