Hatcher Pass, AK, USA

For my last day of exploring, I drove north to Hatcher Pass. It was a curvy road up a 3,000+ foot high mountain. It was beautiful with crisp white snow and little birds everywhere. Of course, I met a cute little bunny by a creek too :)

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - Portage, AK, USA

Musk oxen are my new favorite animals. The babies are the cutest thing ever. It was "free admission" day at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, so of course I made that my event for the day. Boy, what fun! ... I guess that's why I went twice. Hehe. All the animals are so interesting, and, for the most part, so different from what we have in Maine (we'll exclude the moose and black bears from that statement). Gosh, I wish I could play with each and every one of them.

Homer, AK, USA

Driving 8 hours (roundtrip) to boop around for two in a cute little ocean town might seem crazy to most normal people. Especially since I came here by myself. It was a lot of fun though! Homer is the coolest town, especially the shops out on the spit. Naturally, I had some fresh halibut fish and chips for lunch before exploring and taking photos. 

The first few here are actually from Kenai, a quick pitstop on the way back to Anchorage... they uploaded backwards so I don't know...
