Alaska 08 - Day 1 Anchorage

Our Alaskan adventure actually started Sat. afternoon with a flight from Boise to Seattle and then on to Anchorage, arriving around 8pm Alaska time. We got settled into the downtown Marriott, excited for all that lay ahead of us for the next two weeks.

Sunday morning, we met Gary, Judy & Gma Florence in the lobby and they took us to a nearby fellowship meeting. A wonderful way to start our trip. After lunch, we explored downtown Anchorage.

There were flowers everywhere.

Even the totems were smiling.

We visited a art/crafts market which included local furs and carvings on moose antlers.

and fur hats of all types.

Our first grizzly encounter! Both kids survived.
