Friday - July 29

A gloomy, windy, cool start to the day.    Met Ryan and walked to the Dark Horse Café for breakfast which was very good in this cute little building with lots of pretty flowers.

Just down the street from the Marriott
 
Flowers, flowers everywhere!
 
Just relaxed in our room until it was time to leave at 1:30 for the practice at Elmendorf Joint Base.
Low show today with all the cloud cover - we rode with Jack (#2's Dad) and Susan
(wife of Doc - flight surgeon).    

Here come the pilots in their yellow garb they wear on special occasions
70th Anniversary
 
After the show...
 
Fun day and then topped off with a phenomenal dinner at the Crows Nest on 20th floor of the
Captain Hook Hotel.
This was one of those memorable meals we will never forget
 
My scallops - outstanding!
Mark had salmon!

Butternut cheesecake with crunchy crust caramel corn and salted caramel (Pat)
 
Fancy chocolate cake and other yummy stuff (Mark)
 
Few more pics from train trip...
My very delicious spinach/salmon salad
 
Fireweed is everywhere along the road - blurry as we were moving along

 

Front of our train as we come around a bend 

Miss Blair and family were off this morning for a little getaway to Atlanta for a weekend reunion with Brooke's kin.    She is all set with her Pink (blankie), BeBe (baby), passy (usually only at nap and bed time) and of course, her stylish shades.
 
Provided we get out of here tomorrow night and are heading to Seattle, this is our last night in Alaska!
