Welcome to Alaska Grandma and Jackie

div>


We were so excited to have our first visitors! It was so fun to have Grandma Bowen and Aunt Jackie come up. The first day we planned to go into Anchorage and show them the town. Our plans were put on hold for a couple of hours. A man from Italy (who doesn't speak english) decided to back up at a red light and backed right into me and Anne. Jackie kindly watched the boys at the mall while everything was sorted out. Then we decided to go to dinner and take it easy. Sunday was relaxing church and a small hike in the Nature Museum. Monday was exciting we went on a train ride to Seward. We got up at 5:30 to be at the train by 6:45 a.m. We had breakfast on the train and got to see some beautiful scenery. Seward was beautiful we couldn't have asked for a more pleasant day. The ride home was fun we had a great time playing Canasta. Tuesday we attempted downtown anchorage with a much better experience. We had lunch and visited the tourist traps and saw the beautiful flowers. Wed was my favorite day Jackie and Anne to me to Michaels craft store and we found some decorations for my house. They helped me put up pictures and decorate my house which now is feeling more like home since we have a great wall of picutres with our family in them. Thanks for coming! We miss you all:)
