We are heading to Anchorage for a fun filled trip. We have been looking through tons of books and trying to get people's input on what to do while we are up there. So far, we are planning to see a glacier, do some whale spotting, hit a big open market, maybe get a peak of Denali, visit a wildlife preserve, see a few museums (if the weather is bad, otherwise I'll be stopping there when Lydia is at her classes), and of course seeing all that Alaska can offer. We have a list of restaurants to hit, and we hope to eat a ton of fresh seafood. The salmon will be running while we are there, and we should get a chance to observe some combat fishing. I hope to spot another moose for Sheila at The Bank OC, and maybe we can even see a bear, but from a safe distance. The trip should be a blast. But please be praying for us as we use this time to look further into the residency program up there. We want to make sure that we are going where God wants us. Also, pray for our safety as we will hopefully be doing a lot of driving and a lot of hiking up there.
For those wondering, we will have almost 20 hours of daylight while we are in Alaska, the highs will be in the 60s, and the lows will be in the 40s.
Since we should have a boatload of pictures when we get back, you all know us well enough by now, I thought I should get the rest of the cruise pics up before I leave. These pictures are from our disposable, waterproof camera that we just got developed. They are all from Stingray city, where we got to feed the stingrays. There were like 40 of them swimming all around us, and they got a bit aggressive when the food came out. My niece Camryn was not a big fan of the stingrays, that is why she is being held in all of the pictures. But she got out there with us, which impressed me.
Lydia is now 21 weeks pregnant! When we get back next week we will have our first ultrasound, and will hopefully find out if we are having a boy, or girl, or twins. She is doing really well, and has not been as tired lately. When we get back, we will be sure to post some more pictures of her belly. Here are two from 20 weeks.
The book is going great, and I hope to get some more work done on it over the trip if I can't sleep on the flight.
Well, off to get everything packed and ready. We cannot wait to come home in July and see everybody at the showers.
