Growing up in the south, I never really took a second glance at what goes on in the everyday. It was just part of normal life. Moving away from home, those everyday things, I dearly miss.
And one day, we will move away from Alaska...
I want to remember the everyday around here. It is so different from where I grew up, but yet, it still feels so much like home to me. If you are open to it, Alaska will get in your blood and it will forever have a hold on your heart. I am thankful I opened up to it!
Enough mushy talk!
We went driving around town the other day. Driving around is something JT and I use to do all the time. Then gas prices went crazy, and we stopped. When I started driving gas prices were barely a $1 a gallon. Now I sound like my parents, comparing now to then.
I took a few photos of the everyday here in Anchorage...these were all taken from my car, so if you see a glare from the windows or a random dirty spot...I am sorry!
Back home, you see pick up games of basketball.
Here, you see pick up games of ice hockey.
I hope to go to an Alaska Aces game one day.
In the south you see runners on the trails...even in the winter, people run...maybe not as often in the suffocating humidity during the summer. But people run year round.
Here, in the winter, you see cross country skiers. In the summer, you see them with wheels on their skies. In the summer, you will also see runners here, but it is way more cool to post pics of the cross country skiers.
Cross country skiing is something I wanted to give a try, but some how I have been pregnant or nursing our whole time in Ak.
Soon, this road will be closed for the Iditarod and it will be covered in snow.
Fur Rondy begins this weekend, and I hope to bring you some photos of some of the events. It is a fun time here. There is also a Iditarod unit study the kids can follow during the race...I think this year, we might do it. I might have made this decision too late to do it up the way I would like, but they will get the basic idea of it.
