Homer to Seward

We traveled to Homer via Kenai-Soldotna. We left the grandkids with their grandfather, Mike, who just moved to Kenai. He arranged a flightseeing trip for them. They were able to stay there two days while we traveled down to Homer. On the way back up north, we picked up the grandkids and then headed to Seward. While in Seward we visited the SeaLife museum and went to Exit Glacier.

On our last night in Seward, we celebrated Connie's (58th) birthday. We also celebrated Nichole's 16th birthday (although hers doesn't happen until the 30th of August.) On Tuesday, August 16th we seperated from Sue and Richard, Christine and Steve, and Sandy and Dale. We had been traveling to and around Alaska with the 3 other couples since July 18th when we left Prince George, B.C. We then drove north towards Anchorage. We dropped the fifth wheel in a forest service campground about 60 miles south of Anchorage. We drove the grandkids to the airport in Anchorage for their flight back to Seattle. Now we were totally on our own.

We spent one night at the forest service campground at Glacier Creek, and then drove to Hope. We spent the next night at the Porcupine campground just outside of Hope. Bob tried his hand at fishiing for a little while. The town of Hope has some really interesting old buildings.

We've now travelled south on the Sterling Highway to Cooper Landing, Alaska. We're staying at the Kenai Princess RV park. It's attached to a beautiful lodge facility and we can use the hot tub. We're headed back to Anchorage on either Saturday or Sunday. We need to get the RV fixed and the truck serviced. We will then be headed to Valdez. More on that visit in our next post.
