family visit in Anchorage

Today was one of those lazy kind of days. We had plans to go to Anchorage and have dinner with Dennis' cousin Paula, who we have not seen in over 20 years. Barb finally decided that she would make some of the fireweed honey that they talk about in Alaska.

After the honey was made and put in canning jars, we just kind of hung around the campground using the computer and reading.

We left for Anchorage about 4:30 in the afternoon as we want to make Walmart stop at Eagle River for dog food and treats for Roxie.

We arrived at Paula's right on time and had a surprise waiting for us. Dennis' aunt and Paula's mom Pat was there. It was really great to see her again. She is a lovely and feisty lady. We went out for a wonderful dinner at the Sea Galley, afterward back to Paula's for more catching up on families.

We will be seeing both of them again in about a week, can't wait.
