Anchorage Snapshots

Here are a few photos from my trip to Anchorage. Sorry they're not better...maybe someday.

We flew right over our house on the way out. One last chance to whisper goodbye.
I usually never sit in window seats, but on the flights to Alaska, it's worth it.

This doesn't do it justice, but I love this view from Anchorage looking south towards Turnagain Arm. On the ground, these towering mountains appear to jut right out of the water's edge and it's truly breathtaking.

Below is the view from our hotel room in Anchorage. On the left side is the mountain named Sleeping Lady and to the far right is the Chugach Range--that's the direction of Wasilla, where Mrs. Palin lives. If you click on this text you'll see this photo larger.

There is never any lack of stuffed animals in Alaska, this poor fellow ended up at the airport.

I was also able to visit our friends' brand new uber-chic townhouse, complete with an Ikea kitchen and glass garage doors. Yes, they're really glass! If he sends me the link again to the web site, I'll post it here.
