Birthday Adventures

What a wonderful birthday I had! Enjoy the picture story:
Headed south- first time we've seen a train along the Seward Highway

We diagnosed an avalanche

Snowplow: size XL
The Hotel Alyeska


The view from our room
View again

Headed up the mountain on the tram


"Show me a ski pose."
The Roundhouse- enjoying the view & skiers before our toes completely froze

Cloudy/foggy mountain
One of my favorite pictures (heads together, yes I know)

Birthday breakfast (I ordered Cody an Aztec mocha and he loved it! I have no idea why I never introduced him to it before!)
View of the area before sunrise

We indulged every mocha craving, obviously
Gearing up! Hand warmers included!

Ready!




My hair froze! It was only 1 degree to the good
Tired Cody
Turn your head.
Moose Meadow (no moose sighting though)
Cody stopped to take a picture of the ice build-up

While I enjoyed the sunshine (finally!) Trying to ward off any signs of SAD
There are dall sheep in the somewhere (We saw 5 on the way home!)
Ice climbers right along the highway
The moon: out at 3:30pm
The ice carving consent we quickly toured

Cody's all geared up for the science exhibit at the Anchorage Museum (First Friday = free admission)
Checking myself out on the heat detecting monitor

Launching the hot air balloon
Cody's score
and mine :)
Not hand warmers. nah, life savers.

Picture of my birthday 'cake' as requested by Taya (Tiramisu turned out great, Cody!)
