just checking in
This is just a brief note to let folks know we are here in Kodiak and doing great! I will do a proper blog post soon, but just to get the ball rolling, we have been here slightly over 24 hours and have already seen whales, bald eagles (they are everywhere!), salmon, dolly varden, sea lions, a leech, numerous birds, fishing boats with huge seine nets, towering stacks of crab pots, wildflowers galore, and lots of other cool stuff.
We’ve been sight-seeing and beach combing and fishing and fossil hunting, and…
I got that cup of coffee by the sea.
Great to hear from you! What an amazing adventure this will be for you all! So glad I get to be a fly on the wall.
Oh Theresa we miss you already!! I’m SO glad you got that cup of coffee
Have a blast!!
Fabulous! Fabulous! it sounds just delicious!!! cant’ wait to hear/see all about your adventures!! have a relaxing and enjoyable time!
I saw your visit on statcounter and “ran” right over because I knew the Alaska ip address just had to be you! I’m glad your trip went well and I’m so jealous by what you’ve seen already. I have a feeling it’s going to be amazing for you guys there!
That sounds amazing – have a great time! I’m sure others will agree – can’t wait to read all about it!
I am so glad you are having such a great time. I can not wait to hear all about it.
What an awesome adventure! And it’s not every kid, never mind a homeschooled kid, who gets to have such opportunities. You’re all so very lucky! Have a wonderful time!
Hooray! Glad to hear of the safe voyage to Alaska, how’s the fishing?
So glad to see you’ve arrived safetly. I am really looking forward to hearing about your summer there. Already you have me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait for pictures!
Marianna and I looked up Dolly Varden after noticing it here and in the sidebar – Wow! They make us think of our Tarpon, I wonder if Dolly Varden live as long? Large Tarpon can be 100 years old! Our Aquarium has had their smallish Tarpon since the 1950’s.
