Valdez – Day 4
This morning we started out by taking a ride to an overlook in the middle of Valdez. From this vantage point you can get a great look of the city, harbor, and surrounding mountains. The first 8 pictures are from the overlook. I took some panoramic shots from up here which I can’t wait to […]
Valdez – Day 3
Fishing Day! I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. It’s just fun to get out on the ocean or lake and do some fishing. Some friends of Bill’s parents were kind enough to let us use their boat. Thank you, whoever you are, because this was a fun day. First off, just sitting in a […]
Valdez – Day 2

German Shepherds
I went to my sisters last Saturday to hang out and enjoy Scott’s delicious ribs. Honestly the best ribs I’ve ever had. We had a lot of fun just relaxing by the pool while Sawyer splashed and played. Scott in addition to being an excellent rib cook finds time to train their two German Shepherds. […]
