The reason for my trip was to go and support my brother Pete for his run for State Senate!! Jamie and I participated in the Golden Days Parade. It was obviously overcast and kinda rainy at the beginning but by the time it was our turn to go, the weather cleared up nicely. Of course, my hair was ruined. :)
Heres Jamie holding up our hard work. That truck behind her, is what my family came to Alaska in back in 1967. It was a brand new 1967 Ford, with a camper on it and we came with 2 dogs and our cat that just had kittens. Their eyes were opened by the time we got to Anchorage. I learned to drive with this truck. No power steering back in those days either!! And it was a Clutch too!!
This here is the rifle range at UAF, where I shot for the UAF team. Only now its all computerized! Those are the targets you shoot at now, and its stays in the same place and everytime you did a shot, it would be downloaded with the score and put on a screen so every one could keep track of what you were doing. Very spectator friendly! I was really impressed!
And this picture is Jamie growling with the Polar bear at the UAF entry way! She's a silly girl! :)
I think I will start out with pictures!!
This is the place where we'd get ice cream for the evening!
The guy sold it out of his motorhome and its almost 10 pm, whenever we showed up more people would follow. He liked it when we came!
The next 3 pictures are of Chena Hot Springs. The place has changed and for the better! This is there Ice museum, we didn't go in but I thought the place looked cute. Then Dad and I are in the outside pool. Very nice, 105 degrees! And the last picture is their inside pool. It didn't change that much. They could enlarge their ladies changing room though!
Isn't my dad the cutest!! I am a lucky daughter! Thats Jessie with my dad, she's lucky too!
