Rain or Shine


We ventured south to Homer over the weekend. We had hoped the weather would be nice but it ended up raining the majority of the time we were out of Anchorage. Camping on the spit was less than enjoyable, wind and rain while assembling a tent is a bad combination, but other than that we had a great time.
Blooming mountain Lupine, and a lovely Starfish washed up on shore during low tide.
Our favorite restaurant in Homer, it is located right on the spit. The Fish & Chips is to die for!! The Halibut is caught fresh daily from the local fisherman and you get at least a pound of fish for your meal, really yummy and I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone venturing to Homer, Alaska.

The local watering hole, Salty Dawg Saloon, this place is always crowded and a bit rowdy, but a great place to leave your mark when you visit Alaska as the walls are covered with signed dollar bills. A little bit of toilet humor...made me laugh :-)

Bald Eagles are everywhere on the spit. They don't seem too fazed by all the people and will generally sit still long enough for you to snap a couple of pictures. The boat harbor in Homer is always packed and is a great place to visit and see what is being hauled in for the days catch.

I love spending the weekends with Kyle, enjoying the beauty of Alaska, and making memories as we go along.
