Joan and I flew Anchorage to visit Mike and Angie and their two daughters, Sofie and Ainsley. We traveled through Portland Ore on the way up. Carrying frozen chilies I was somewhat concerned that they might thaw, but they did not. Our Stop over was pleasant as the airport is built on a human scale.

We arrived late, 2:00am and were picked up by Mike. We had a great cozy time. We ate, took the girls to school on Friday morning. We drove around a bit washed Mike’s cool truck. All four wheels steer the beast. Over the weekend, we took the girls sledding, went to a U of A vs. U of Wisconsin hockey game, went out to dinner, went shopping and made a great crab and fish dinner.

Mike's house is three times the size as mine.
