Fun and Cultural Enlightenment

Thursday and Friday have been fairly relaxed for us. I toured the Russian Orthodox Museum alone Thursday morning, as I was the only one interested (surprising, I know). That afternoon we all went to the Anchorage Museum of Art and History. Though going through an expansion, the museum's exhibits were mostly open and mostly engaging. They had great miniatures, such as this one of an Aleut village bringing in a whale.

Here's a Haida platter, carved out of stone (argillite).

After a few hours in a museum, the kids were ready to blow off some steam. We found a playground and played tag on the way home.

Friday was very relaxed. We slept in, cleaned up the rental car, returned it, and picked up the RV. 31" looks bigger in real life than on paper. But grocery shopping goes easier, because we can transfer the groceries straight from the cart to the kitchen. We also had Mark and Pam Van Dyke over for Alaskan halibut and salmon--yum! We've had a great week in Anchorage and area, but are looking forward to more exploring with the RV.
