Valdez…

Well, I left Unalakleet in kind of a rush this afternoon.  I was helping Damon rearrange the studio.  I hope it will provide a more streamlined work environment for the student broadcasters.  Time slipped away as it usually does on a day you fly and I found myself running out of the building to a waiting car for a ride to the airport.

The flight was pretty non eventful and got me to Anchorage around 5:00 P.M.  I met up with Jared and Tonya and we went out for burgers at Red Robins.  It was nice to chit chat with them and then it was back to the airport for my short flight into Valdez.  My mom and dad were waiting to pick me up which was very nice.  We grabbed my luggage and off to home we went.

My grandparents and aunt and uncle and their kids are up from Minnesota.  So I had a nice welcome home crew waiting for me.  It has been a while since I’ve seen all of them so it was nice to sit around and catch up a bit.

We kind of celebrated my grandma’s birthday as the evening drew to an end.  Here she is opening her present.

The evening all of a sudden was really late and time for bed.  Dad and I are heading over to Northway to hopefully chase a moose around.  The weather there has been in the 60’s which isn’t exactly the weather we want.  The moose start to move around more once it starts getting colder.  So even though the forecast is calling for similar temperatures we are hoping for a sudden cold snap.

I’ll have pictures of that trip when I get back on the 28th or 29th.
