We took a weekend trip to Seward Alaska. We had a beautiful sunny day. One of the few I have seen this summer. Kevin, Rich, and I had a good time. We stayed at the Military Lodge in a motel. We took some friends with us on the boat. Rich dropped us off at Caines Head and Tammy and her daughter Taylor and I hiked the trail. We enjoyed lots of salmon berries and blueberries. We loved the hike in the sun, and the beautiful plants. We loved overlooking the bay. We wished we had brought along flashlights to explore the World War II bunkers that were built up there.
The guys went fishing in the bay, but didn't catch anything. We met up and all headed back to the harbor together.
Rich, Kevin, and I went out for dinner and had some nice seafood. Pricey, but good.
Sunday we went to church in Seward. I played the piano, and they chose speakers from the audience! I preferred the piano rather than being called up to speak. I think there were more visitors than members there. Kevin mentioned that he would like to live in Seward, but I believe he would die of boredom!
We then went out to Exit Glacier for a little walking. It was raining slightly, but it was ok. The glacier is sure shrinking, and I think in 20 years it will be gone!
We had a contest to see who could keep one hand in the glacier river the longest. I lost after about 20 seconds. I really cannot take the cold! It was so cold it hurt. Kevin and Rich held their hands in there about 4 minutes, and then after splashing each other Rich gave up, just before Kevin. Their hands were white!
Kevin also had a good time smacking rocks into the ocean with a baseball bat.
We saw whales and a seal. No bears or moose this time!
