First Friday Carl and Diane came down, and we tried Orso's first, but it was so crowded that we ended up at Sullivan's. All 5 of us crowded around a table, and we split 2 appetizers at a time so that we could fit them on the table! Hmmm . . . oysters on the 1/2 shell, blue cheese potato chips, calamari, and seared ahi tuna -- enough to call it a meal, along with some good wine and music!
Afterwards we walked over to the Town Square to try the teacups again, Jessica likes to be twirled in them (and so do the rest of the kids! Including Diane!)
I have a video of her actually spinning but can't seem to get the videos to load. The ice sculptures were due to be completed by 4:00 on Sunday, so we had a preview on Friday while they were worked on, and then we walked up to see them on Sunday just before the deadline, which was also the time we had to leave to take Jessica to the airport to fly back to L.A. Saturday we took a quick trip to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, but it was wet and icy and windy/wild, so we mostly drove through and saw the elk and musk oxen and wood bison huddled up against the weather - also a lynx, owl, and red fox and Sitka black-tailed deer.
The dragon in the middle was completed by a 2 person Chinese team - each has a 2 person team, and the dragon won 1st place - I liked the one on the bottom! All in all a neat display and fun for families to traipse around the Town Square on a Sunday afternoon. There was also an ice train that kids could play in and unfortunately some bigger kids probably under the cover of darkness played rough with that! And then there was Monday morning . . . back to work.
Brian is getting blood checks twice a week and will until he gets the all clear for some stable numbers on the blood thinning. Then he can stop giving himself shots too, which won't hurt his feelings one bit!
