We stopped at the museum to meet a new friend and distract ourselves after dropping Cletus off at the airport. Lots of neat things there.

Moose sculpture outside.

Munchkins in front of the raven.

There was a seastar tank, a king crab tank and a snapping turtle tank.

This fun little contraption let’s them pull themselves up with a rope then slowly drop back down.

There were all sorts of neat exhibits: giant bubble maker, science experiments. Native Alaskan Heritage, and beautiful art work. We must go back to see more!

“Dead Indian Stories” by Edgar Heap of Birds, 2012-2014 Ink on rag paper. 

Ta ta for now. 

Bye Cletus, see you soon. 

It’s always bittersweet to end my Seester time. I so enjoyed having Claire, John and Bryan here. Getting to share my Alaska with people I love…. Priceless.

I can’t wait till next time!!!

Took the kids out for some fun, Cabin Fever Creations and ceramic painting. 

Lots of paint and glaze every where.

Cletus, Thing 1 and I went for pedicures. Thing 1’s first time! 

She wasn’t so sure she liked done strange  touching her feet and legs! 

But she got some pretty blue piggy paint.

My tootsies way out there. 

We saw quite a few waterfalls on our adventure, a couple over at Seward.

And of course this one outside Anchorage. 

We headed over to Seward after panning for gold, to see Exit Glacier. It has been 20+ years since I first saw it and I was really shocked at how much it had receded. 

From a ways back.

You can see a cave where the water has etched away at the underside.

Claire, John & Bryan in front of the glacier at the end of the hiking trail.

All along the trail and drive in are these signs that show the process of glacial melt and recession. 

When we finished our hike we drove into and around Seward. 

Panoramic of Resurrection Bay at Seward. 

John digging on sloughed off bluff. 

We were about halfway up…

Long ways down. 

Bryan took pictures of the beautiful sunrise.

Kachemak Bay, Halibut Cove.

Cletus fishing, she caught a shark.

John’s big halibut. 

We got to watch Greenbay play football. 

And drink margaritas.
