Big Time Fun in AK!

FJB | General | 0 Comments

Well, it’s about to end, but it’s been fun!

The family and I have been visiting my sister in Alaska and we’ve had a bunch of fun visiting and seeing some of the sights in the 49th state.

So far, we’ve cruised down Ressurection Bay, seen salmon spawning, fed reindeer, panned for gold, waded through a glacial river, climbed a mountain and taken a look at a glacier up close and personal and have see a ton of wildlife.

We’ve done the tourist things and purchased some souveniers too.

Best of all, we’ve been able to spend time with my sister! The kids have missed her and found out that she’s just as much fun as before.

But tomorrow, it all comes to an end. We’re flying back home tomorrow night. More than a year’s worth of memories, hopes and experiences packed into a tiny, single week. Just doesn’t seem fair! We’ll see each other again, but who knows when - the kids will be bigger, we’ll all be older, and who knows what else.

Well, gotta get some sleep - busy day tomorrow filled with visiting, shopping, looking around and bittersweet parting.

Lots of photos from this trip - galeries will be updated when I am able to catch up on sleep!

Hey everybody -

Well I’ve spent the last three days in Chicago learning all about a new system that we’re going to be installing at work. There was a great deal of information stuffed into those three days, but it was very informative and interesting. There will be some fun times at work in the near future.

Anyway, I got down to Chicago early this morning and then stayed down there after the final session was completed - mainly because the train schedule for my area sucks so bad! But the weather turned ouot nice and I did have my camera - so . . .

I have pictures from downtown Chicago online. They’re not that good, but I think some of the shots are interesting. I have some of Chicago’s Millenium Park. I guess there’s been some controversy over the Bean - guess it was under repair and won’t be open by Memorial Day! It’s in all of the papers in Chicago. Guess there’s no onther news ;-)

Later!
