Saturday Adventures

Yesterday we visited a few different places... First we went to the mall and had lunch. Always a fun thing to do. :) Then we went to the Oxygen & Octane Winter Sports Expo. Honestly, I wasn't as impressed as I was the last time I went. Tom said it should have been called the Snow Mobile Show because that's what we saw most there... one after the other... row after row.... After that we went to the Anchorage Museum. There is a special limited exhibit there of Mammoths and Mastodons. That was way cool!

Tom went off a little in the afternoon window shopping for Mountain Bikes and drove by Cook's Inlet... here are some beautiful pictures of Cook's Inlet he took....

And check this out.... a little later in the afternoon... what a gorgeous view we have from our apartment!

I was looking forward to the possibility of rain turning to snow during the night and back to rain the next day.... but yesterday was so clear. The skies were more clear than they have been in a while. So no snow, no rain. :(  I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.  It's October now, and that's when the first snowfall usually begins here. Yeah!

Today we are going to Kincaid Park and watch the guys enjoy the Motorcross Park on their dirtbikes. Have a fun Sunday!

Cook Inlet Weekend Adventure

Guess what!? The temperatures here are dipping into the 30's every night now. Oh how I love it! Tom woke up to ICE on his windshield this morning.  :)

We visited COOK INLET this weekend....

While at Cook Inlet, we were on the shore and the airplanes were taking off across the street behind us, and flying overhead. Very powerful feeling to watch.

It's hard to see in this picture, but the mountains across the bay are WHITE with SNOW!

The beach is covered with rocks worn smooth from the water. We picked up a few and brought them home. 

Here's Bonnie!!

There is Tom - he's such the climber and adventurer!

Bonnie got cold after a while and thought this would be a good idea.

Tom is watching the tide come in..... very fast too!
