Oh the Weather!!!
So here's a great example of what we will be doing on the few days that just won't allow us to be outdoors.
We set out on a journey to the Byron Glacier trail in Portage, AK. We wanted to step out of the Anchorage bowl for a moment to catch sight of one of the amazing glaciers that are just outside our backyards. The weather was pretty rough, as can get in Alaska. High winds and rain make for a cold 'summer' walk and the nearby boats were canceling trips due to weather. So, back up plan, we decided to check out the Begich Visitor Center and learn about the outside through indoor means.
It's a thoughtful and educational spot and we appreciated it's dry warmth.
We really missed being outside, but had a great time together, learning about the area!
We love all bears!
Who needs water to kayak?!
You can't tell from this photo, but the waves were crashing and the mountains were socked in.
We didn't get to see the glacier from here either!
We had fun with all the interactive educational devices
Giant Ice Worm!
