How wonderful it was to travel back to Alaska with Bill. It was strange in a way I didn’t expect; it all felt so familiar – so much like home. I suppose you can’t give three years of your life to a place and not feel somehow connected. And so, within the first hour of being there, I realized that a piece of me stayed in Alaska when we left – the way part of my heart was always in Minnesota when we lived up North.<\/p>\n
Bill and Barb spoiled us all week long. It was great having time together, though we missed Katie.<\/p>\n
The grand finale to my trip was getting a chance to meet up with the Holts<\/a>. Even after all the driving, flying, and mushing (!) they’ve done the past couple of weeks, they still made the drive in to Anchorage. We had a magnificient dinner at the Brewhouse Friday evening and then watched the boys swim and visited into the night. Saturday way checked out a new chocolate place in Anchorage. They serve chocolate the old fashioned way – you eat it with a spoon or drink it. Very tasty. After a little lunch and some more bumming around we headed back to the hotel, and the boys got a quick swim in before they took off. I was happy to get some time with friends I’ve missed so very much.<\/p>\n Bill and I went for dinner at the Bears Tooth before I got checked in for my flight.\u00a0 All of our great dinners made me wish we had more unique restaurants around here – of course, we probably don’t need any more encouragement for eating out and not cooking for ourselves!<\/p>\n I’m a bachelorette for a couple of weeks while Bill finishes his last trip for collecting footage. I’ve got big plans of getting organized for the 4th quarter – the time goes by so quickly!<\/p>\n Hope you all had a wonderful Easter with friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How wonderful it was to travel back to Alaska with Bill.
