I did get to fish on base and go around anchorage. When I was there they had like 20-22 hours of daylight. It was cool for a while then it got old. The tide is crazy there. All the marines flew there but our equipment went by ship. It took 2 days to unload and we had to keep mooring the boat because the tide.

PS, listen to your wife. Go to Alaska! Catch some giant flounder and maybe some salmon.

We were there for 19 days and yes we had alot of daylight! We have been back since Monday night and I am ALMOST back to normal, might even try to make it back to work tomorrow.

Sounds and looks like an absolutely amazing family trip! Thanks so much for letting us share it through your pictures. Lot of work to post, but we appreciate it. You're kids have sure grown up!

Appears to be a most awesome adventure. The icing on the cake was being able to go with your family. Please bring the pictures to the Toledo Bend gathering. I have been wishy washy on going to Alaska, but your pictures might have made up my mind. Been to a lot of places, but that would certainly be a highlight. Welcome home!! Danny

Danny, if you have the chance to go, I would definetely recommend going! This same family had moved to Hawaii several years ago and had invited us to go but we never did. We have kicked ourselves ever since then so when they moved to Alaska, I told Angie to book the tickets. Yes it was expensive but it was also a once in a life time trip.
We went to Homer, Seward, Portage Glacier, very short time in Talketna (shopping only), and spent some time in Willlow with our friends. I told my father in law that I felt like a flower child, not knowing where we were going to stay next!

Homer was my favorite out of all the places we stayed. Kenai had great fishing for salmon from what we heard but we never stayed there.
Thanks for the welcome home, it is great to be back. Really missed the heat and humidity!
