Wow! I wish you could all see our beautiful view tonight.
We are on the Cook Inlet which is an inlet that leads to the ocean . It is just gorgeous. The park is called Scenic View RV Park. There is a beautiful sunset on the water tonight. We haven't seen the sun in several days so it's a very welcome sight--too much rain. We seem to keep gravitating towards the ocean. Today we were in Seward and tonight we are close to Homer. We are now on the Kenai Penisula.
On Wednesday we saw two trumpeter swans and the most exciting thing was a mama moose and her twins. Usually we see a moose one minute and the next minute she's disapppeared in the woods. This time though they stuck around a long time and we got some nice shots of them. It was so neat!

We stopped in Anchorage yesterday to see Bill's old school bus driver whom Bill hadn't seen in 40 years. It was kind of neat. He lives with one of his daughter's up here 6 months and then moves to Joplin, MO and lives with

another daughter. He's a real neat guy and is a walking miracle. He's had one thing after another and should have been dead more than once.
We also went to Girdwood yesterday which is where Craig and I had been 30 years ago when we were in Anchorage. We went to Aleyska Ski Resort which is very fancy and gorgeous. I also saw the Jade Company where we had gone. It wasn't open though. I recognize the area as soon as we started up the hill to it. Do you remember doing this, Craig?
