Homer Alaska

I spent the day in Homer, Alaska. It was wonderful. I woke up and had a message and a facial. Maybe the best one I have ever had. Then, I spent the day hiking and sight seeing. I had an amazing day.

This is the Homer Spit.

This is the jacuzzi at the spa I am staying at. It is overlooking Kachemak Bay.

This is the view from the Jacuzzi facing Homer spit. See the swing on the left, that is where I read my book.

I miss Tater, so I thought I would take a picture of other people's dogs. Everyone seems to have a dog in Alaska.

Are these two birds kissing? :)

View of all the boats docked in Homer.

This is Grewingk Glacier

The bay again.

My first eagle sighting.

First seal sighting...

I think he sees me. I saw several seal's. They seem to play peak-a-boo with the tourist. They were cute.

Aydin, I bet you didn't know that volcanoes are not only in Hawaii. They are also in freezing cold places such as Alaska too. This is a view at sunset. The sun on the right, on the left is a volcano named Augustine. It was so pretty.

Vacation/Work

I have been so busy the last couple of weeks. I have not even had a moment to realize, I am going to Alaska in two days! I have had a couple of weeks worth crazy deadlines. You know, the kind when you look at it on a calendar, you think, "NO WAY!" Then, the weeks pass, and you get it all done, and you think, "Wow, I got all that done?" It feels pretty good, but now I have to focus on my trip. I will be in Anchorage for four days for work. I am staying another four days just for me. I am going to drive around and absorb as much of the scenery as possible. This will be the longest time I have been away from my family. I have had my husband come with me when we can or when it is a city he really wants to see. Although he would love to come to Alaska, it just didn't work out this time. I love my family, but I'm kind of excited to be alone. And to be alone in such beautiful county! I got a sweet deal on a spa-resort in Homer Alaska. I feel a little guilty to go all out, when I'm all alone, but I have worked my butt off the last couple of years and I totally deserve it (or at least that is what I keep telling myself.) Enough talk about Alaska, I will post photos while I am gone, so check back soon.
