Last weekend Emily and I took a weekend trip down to Anchorage and it was AMAZING! We flew down Friday morning and hopped in our rental car and drove about an hour to the Portage Glacier. It was beautiful but we couldn't really see any of the glaciers because everything was covered in a blanket of snow still. Then we went through a 2.5 mile long tunnel through a mountain to Whittier which is a very small fishing town on Prince William Sound. On Saturday we went for a hike up Flattop mountain which was insanely beautiful and unlike any mountains in Maine. The stretch up to the top was very steep and covered in snow and so to go back down we slid on our bums for quite some time! Sunday we rented bikes downtown and biked along the Coastal Path for about 2o miles. I attached a bunch of pictures for your viewing pleasure...but they are in reverse order.

Anchorage was a lot of fun and we were very lucky to have such wonderful weather! This weekend it is raining so we are taking it easy. The sky is still light at 11pm now which makes it hard to go to bed when your head is telling you it is a lot earlier than it really is!
