I was up in Anchorage, Alaska over the weekend to give a presentation on a project that I have been working on to the Northwest Archivists' spring meeting. It is absolutely beautiful up there. There is a wildness to Alaska that gets into your soul and reminds you of how spectacular nature can be. I was lucky enough that Brad is still up there on his ob/gyn rotation and so we hung out together on Saturday. We went up to Girdwood and ate lunch at a little diner and played pool. We also hiked up to Byron Glacier. It was pretty cool to realize that the glacial melt was flowing underneath us towards a lake. The ice was really blue in places and the vistas were quite stunning.
That evening we ate dinner at Simon and Seaforts and I had the best fish I have ever had in my life. I had macadamia encrusted halibut stuffed with king crab meat. It was to die for. As you can see by the picture below we were both happy campers after dinner. It was fun to go to Alaska and even more fun to spend time with Brad.
