Welcome!

My move to Anchorage is complete....WHEW! And now I'm staring at this great big city with small town eyes, wondering what I might find around each new corner. Follow along with me while I discover my new city and just enjoy life. I hope my stories and pictures prove entertaining, as I'm sure the exploring will be for me!

Wingin' It

What a way to end the weekend!! Matt drove me to Point Woronzof at the Anchorage International Airport to spend the last bit of the evening watching the jumbo jets fly right over our heads. What a COOL sight!


Chase loved the roar of the airplanes and waved his little arms off, trying to say Hello to the pilots. He decided that he should be an "Airplane Worker" because people would think he was great and kids would watch him fly!


My poor little feet and hands were freezing as I stood outside and battled the wind. I was getting that tar knocked out of me and getting whipped around pretty good, can't imagine how the pilots felt. With a super long lens on the camera I was getting a little crabby with the wind....It's hard ENOUGH to hold that lens still without the wind's help. Must invest in a tripod!


I must have made an amazing site....Big baggy sweatshirt, plaid pajama pants, and sandals! But I had my camera and I was having a blast! It's funny, no matter how old I get I realize that I'm still much like my son...I still want to stand on a hill, jump up and down and wave at the pilots. There's just something fun about watching airplanes.


All in all it was a perfect way to end a perfect weekend. I'm ready for another week and looking forward to heading to Soldotna this coming weekend. Have a great week!
