The Cannamores in Alaska - Days 9, 10, and 11
The last few days of Mom and Dad's trip were a but more sedate than the rest. We were all getting a bit tired of running around so much and wanted to make sure that we spent time together.
So, Friday, June 15, we drive around Soldotna and Kenai to show them our area and all it has to offer. We took them to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, old Kenai, and the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center. We also took them by my school and showed them my room and where I work. They loved it. We did get to see a mama moose and her two babies though.
We spent Saturday, June 16, checking out Homer. We got there in time for lunch, walked the Spit, picked up some beach rocks, went out to Land's End (literally the end of the road), to the world famous Salty Dawg Saloon, through old town Homer, and even stopped by the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center.
Sunday, June 17 - last day of my parents' trip to Alaska - we took them by the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge to get a bird's eye view of the river one last time. We also stopped in at Girdwood, so they could see the town and Alyeska, the ski resort. But, it was bit overcast, so we didn't really get out much. We ate dinner at the Bear Tooth Grill in Anchorage, and then it was time for the airport.
It was super sad to see them go, but we had an amazing time with Mom and Dad in Alaska. We enjoyed each other's company and laughed so very much. It was a very special trip that none of us will ever forget. I miss them so much but know that they needed to get back to those granddaughters, Toby, and Mia. :)
Hopefully, they'll be able to come back again, maybe even see Alaska in the winter. I know she sure showed off for them this summer. Never goodbye, just til we meet again.
