Getting Out and About

One of my best friends, Carly visited us for Thanksgiving.  It was a perfectly timed visit and helped me to get over my recent bout of homesickness. It also gave us the chance to explore Anchorage and our surroundings a bit more.  We took a hike at Girdwood (just about 45 min south of anchorage - it's a cool little ski town) and ate at Jack Sprat.

For Thanksgiving we went to a pot-luck and our dish was Moose Pot Roast!  It was very delicious!  (which means a lot coming from me!).  I even ate moose leftovers :)  Big thanks to the handi-man working on our house who gave us the moose neck to roast.  What a nice "welcome to Alaska"!

I have been enjoying morning runs at Kincaid Park which is just 1 mile from our front door.  The dogs have been loving it too :).  Here is Allagash with post-run frosty fur...through the lens of a frosty cell phone camera...

Oh yeah - and this guy was in our back yard the 

other day (pic from garage window!).
