Birthday Trip to Seward

Drove down to Seward yesterday for my birthday.

 It rained from the time we left Anchorage until we arrived at our hotel. You learn not to let the weather deter any plans if you live in Alaska! We had a wonderful dinner last night. Yummy king crab dip and then fish and chips. Delightful. I got up and out this morning while Greg was getting ready.

 These pictures are of the mountains right across the street.

 There was a gorgeous duck in this lagoon. He kept diving into the water every time I tried to get his picture.

 Every Fourth of July they have a race up this mountain, Mount Marathon.

I got tired just looking up it. As you can tell, the leaves are finally appearing on the trees.

 Seward is nestled right up against these mountains

 with Resurrection Bay forming the border on the other side of this small town. More pictures later. Right now we are headed out to go fishing!
