Next Stop Anchorage

The next stop after the Mt. Alyeska hotel was Anchorage for the night before heading up to Denali National Park. After checking into the hotel, we walked around town for a while.  I enjoyed the artist co-ops and looking around the different shops.

We had dinner at Glacier Brewhouse.  This was definitely a restaurant where I should have insisted Loni and the youngest order from the children's menu.  The youngest was not happy with the queso as it had ale in it (hint Brewhouse in the name) and was more like fondue than what he considers queso.  It did not help that the chips came with pico and not salsa.  The two "children" aka picky eaters at the table ordered cheese quesadillas.  Unfortunately, they did not ask what kind of cheese was in the quesadillas.  Turns out it was pepper jack and was drizzled with chipotle sauce.  Loni ate it with a lot of funny faces and scraping off of the sauce.  The youngest managed to get it down without too many issues. 

After dinner the boys went off on their own, and Loni and I headed to JC Penney for cheap suitcases to send some of our things onto Fairbanks.

Once we went back to the hotel and filled up the new suitcases to lighten our load, Loni and I went back out to get dessert and upon the reference from the hotel clerk went back to the Glacier Brewhouse.  Loni had their original peanut butter pie, and fell it love with it.  I had their bread pudding.

It was very strange to be walking around Anchorage at 10:30 p.m. and it was like walking around at 5:00 p.m. because it was so light out.


Anchorage had some pretty gardens around downtown,
