On my way home...

i stopped to take some pictures....
and had a funny conversation with the girls...

My sister-in-law sent me a very interesting NYT article about southeast Alaska and global warming.  I stopped to take some pictures for her as the wetlands are mentioned in the article.  The first picture here on the right is a view of the mountain from the Walmart parking lot.  Juneau is famous for clouds and rain, but the nice days are beyond compare!

This is what i drive by almost everyday on my way home from anywhere not in town (B's work, school, church, and the gym are all in town...  Walmart, Costco, Fred Meyer [where i do the majority of my shopping], friends, our favorite library story hour, and the recycling center are all out of town... so, i see this a lot!)
     

After i got back into the car, the following conversation took place...
M1: Are we still in Alaksa?
me: Yes.
M1: When are we going to leave Alaska again?
me: Not until November for Uncle's wedding.
M1: I want to go back to Hawaii and Disneyland.
me: Me too, but we're going to visit some other places in Alaska this summer.  Won't that be fun?
M2: That will be great!  I love to visit other places in Alaska!!
M1: Mommy, where are we going to go in Alaska?
me: We're going to visit Kodiak, Homer, and Sitka.  (B has been to Kodiak, but none of us have been to Sitka or Homer.)
some quiet thinking...
M1: Mommy, can you say those three again?
me: Kodiak, Homer, and Sitka.
M2: Sitka?!  I love Sitka, Alaska!!
M1: I love Homer!

I hope the enthusiasm holds up!  :)
