| Heading out of Valdez. It looks like Mordor being re-created... |
 |
| We're getting closer to Wasilla! We're actually on our way to Anchorage first. |
 |
| A loooong, inland glacier. |
 |
| A four-lane highway?! Are you kidding me? Yes, after the hill, it went back to 2 lanes. |
 |
| Excellent museum. |
 |
| Ashley fake kissing a fake mammoth thing. |
 |
| Ashley said this looked like a naked mole rat. I don't think they're related... |
 |
| How did this museum manage to keep this specimen? |
 |
| I would not want to run into you... |
 |
| Eeep! |
 |
| Would not want to be nose-to-nose to you in real life either. |
 |
| Smithsonian? Hey, I know that name! |
 |
| Interesting art/mask thing. |
 |
| Only musk ox we've seen so far. |
 |
| Smiling stuffed bear...that's better. |
 |
| Someone actually wore these boots made of...bronze? I think. |
 |
| A piece of the Trans-Alaskan pipeline. |
 |
| Heat-sensor in the hands-on part of the museum. |
 |
| Bubbles! |
 |
| More bubbles! |
 |
| And more! |
 |
| And more! |
 |
| Ha. |
 |
| Mismatched socks! |
 |
| Anchorage from the base of Flattop. |
 |
| That's a pretty steep grade, no? |
 |
| Aaaaahhhh!!! I looked down! |
 |
| That's all we had left. It woulda been rough though. |
 |
| He looks like an unhappy ape. |
 |
| We climbed up most of that. It's a lot more scary in person. |
 |
| They have some really weird trees up here. |
 |
| Being silly and playing on the kids' toys as always--at the Alaska SeaLife Center. |
 |
| Mr. Grumpy Gills. |
 |
| More sea cucumbers to touch! |
 |
| If you stick your fingers between sea urchin quills, they give you a hug! :) |
 |
| We were...a foot away from this bird. We could have touched it. |
 |
| Weirdo... |
 |
| Tufted puffin. |
 |
| Incoming puffin alert! |
 |
| Awwwwwww. |
 |
| Sea lions have weird shoulder blades. |
 |
| Eating time! |
 |
| I'll make a splash, you give me a fish. |
 |
| No! No more clapping. I just want a fish! |
 |
| Oh, I missed. |
 |
| You cannot take pictures of jellyfish moving around in low light. So I played with the light of the jellies. |
 |
| Seward, AK is known for its murals. |
 |
| There were more than those murals. We just couldn't find them all. |
 |
| Oh look! Another glacier we get to walk to! |
 |
| Another heart...how adorable! |
 |
| On the way back to Anchorage from Seward. This was Beluga Point. There were no beluga whales to be seen unfortunately. |
 |
| Coming up to the ONLY (and I mean only) interchange in Alaska. |
 |
| Here we come! |
 |
| On top of the interchange bridge. |
 |
| Going to go under that bridge. |
 |
| And then two seconds (literally) later, it's back to a two-lane road. |
 |
| Peking Garden (restaurant), The Peak Inn (we stayed there), and Peak-A-Brew (a shed coffee place). Weird. |
 |
| Sketch. We know. |
 |
| We are in Wasilla! Is that the Russians? Where is Russia? |
 |
| Not over there either? Nope! |
 |
| Where is it? |
 |
| I don't know! |
 |
| Looking...looking... |
 |
| Still looking... |
 |
| Still looking... |
 |
| No. Russia cannot be seen from Wasilla. |
