We made it! The flight was a little hard (7.5 hours from Philly to Anchorage) but we successfully made it to Alaska! Danny and Heather were such wonderful hosts for our short time in Anchorage. They picked us up from their airport and took us to dinner at a great local micro-brewery called The Moose's Tooth. It was gourmet pizza and tons of local beers. Jason and Danny started with a coconut porter. Jason moved on to the sampler and Danny went on to his favorite: Pipeline Stout.
After dinner, Danny and Heather drove us to a Flattop Mountain lookout point, where there is a spot to park and checkout the amazing views. You can see the entire city of Anchorage from this spot. I will post the three photos we took later. It was very cold and windy, or I would have taken more.
After being awake for 24 hours straight (I know great practice for when the babies arrive!), we headed to the hotel (11:30pm and still sunny) and crashed for 5 hours. Now we are up and getting ready for the train ride to the cruise ship. Danny said we will be amazed at the views on the train ride. I'm really glad we opted for that instead of the bus ride! More later (may be a few days since internet is expensive on the boat) so stay tuned.
