and played at the park....
went to the air and flight museum...
drank milkshakes at Jack in the Box...
swam in the pool....
soaked in the beautiful sunshine....went bowling and sat in the bus shelter for the heck of it...and jumped and danced on the beds. It was a wonderful way to be stranded. We might just have to get stranded again. We were there three days and had a great time. Monday we caught a new airplane home. We drove back up to Eielson. On the way we say a huge puffy cloud only to see later that it was a forest fire. It was an amazing sight. We love Alaska and are happy to be home!

welcome back! :)
You are AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. Three days in limbo and you handled it with style and grace. I am not at all surprised.
You're an awesome Mom! How nice to have a vacation within a vacation!
