Saturday - July 30

Chilly, windy and very overcast when we walked to Holy Family Cathedral for 9:00 Mass.   We had a very young, vibrant priest.    Had breakfast with Ryan at the Solstice Café.  
 
We rode in the caravan (Ryan drove) with Jack ad Regina to air show.   I had 5 layers on (4 yesterday) - really windy and cool.    Big crowd and so much fun with family members and friends of Philip and Annette's friends - the Thompson clan.
  Renee, Karen, Jim, Julie, Ryan, Jim, Emily, Lee

 
Regina and Jack - #2 Matt's parents from Honolulu. 
We missed Regina yesterday who has been really sick with nasty sore throat, congestion, achiness, etc.   She went to the doctor (viral thing)....doing much better today!

Jack and Regina took us to the airport and we were so lucky to get on the 8:05 flight to Seattle (6
standbys ahead of us, but we made it)!!!    With the 3-hour flight, 1-hour time change and then getting to hotel, it was 1:15 when we finally crawled into bed!
We nomads are not going to be "Sleepless in Seattle" that's for sure!    Ha...
  
Gorgeous hanging baskets all around Anchorage

White water rafting on the Nenana River (from train trip)
We did this in 2009 and Ryan and friends, this past Monday.
FUN memory...
 
Luke and "Pa" building a colorful tower
 
Nana and Pa went home today - sad time to leave the little ones.    Philip, Annette, Luke and Maeve are settling in.....we'll be there in another week!
