Valdez Day 1

The weather was beautiful yesterday, so we decided to take advantage of it with a little flying. Bill (Jr.) took us out to a beach he’d been to the first time last week. What an incredible spot!

Before we could take off, the guys had to shovel a clearing to get the plane out of the hangar.

The view from the air was spectacular!

Bill got lots of video.

We landed and took some time to listen to the ocean waves crash onto the shore before heading back to look at the state cabin that sits in the woods.

 There was still plenty of daylight left for the ride home. The mountains are still covered in snow; the sight is absolutely breathtaking from the sky! This picture was taken as we got closer to Valdez.

 We got home just after 7:00 and Bill made a tasty chicken pizza with pesto. We got to enjoy that while watching a slide show of Barb and Bill’s trip to Europe last summer. Looks like it was a wonderful time!

We quickly forwarded through some of the day’s video, but I was having a tough time keeping my eyes open. So, not much later it was bedtime. Of course, it seems, the minute my head hits the pillow I’m wide awake – and Bill said something ridiculously funny and got me in a laughing fit… the kind where you can’t stop laughing, and your stomach hurts, and by the end of it you can’t figure out what was funny in the first place! I LOVE VACATION!

    I enjoy a good gut-busting giggle on occasion as well! The other night Josh said something particularly hillarious, and we were laughing about it all night.

    Glad you’re having a great time!

    I HATE when I’m so tired I can’t keep my eyes open, but can’t get to sleep 🙂

    But, I love that Jeff and I still get the giggles like that. It’s a healthy reminder that life should be full of fun, despite the craziness or mundane nature of it.

    Have a great vacation…
