Savannah had her first swimming trip this weekend…she loves the water!

 

Over 20 inches of the white stuff…Snow, Blowing Snow, Volcano Eruptions, 45 kt winds…and it’s still snowing!

We got the jumper at Walmart a few days ago, Savannah isn’t so sure about it yet…but she’s getting the hang of it!

 

Still not a favorite, but better than rice cereal!

 

Route #1…nothing set in stone yet…doesn’t include Alaska…

Some pics from my phone…
Big water on the Marine Highway and iced over windows from the spray.

Wow…we’ve got an RV!
Big adventure getting it here…
After weeks of talking on the phone it started with a military PAX transport to Anchorage, caught a ride to the dealership. Picked out the RV I wanted and took it for a test drive, not too bad…didn’t notice there wasn’t any traffic. Bought the RV and hit the road, by this time the base traffic out of Elemndorf was in full swing and bumper-to-bumper. After a white knuckled trip out of Anchorage I set off for Homer to catch the ferry to Kodiak.  While driving from Anchorage to Homer I hit freezing rain, snow, fog, and had ice/snow covered roads with no cell service in case something happened…an RV trial by fire.  I arrived in Homer around 2 in the morning and slept in the RV next to the ocean, not too bad. The next morning I loaded onto the ferry and set sail for Kodiak around 1pm. The seas were so high it was spraying over the bow of the ship (the ferry is the size of a cruise ship) and icing everything up. We were pitching and rolling within 5 degrees of the ships max so the captain decided to take it to the backside of the island and slip through Whale Pass. We were supposed to arrive in Kodiak at 11pm but didn’t make it in until 2am.
It was worth it…I like the thing…now we gotta think of a name!

 

It’s been a little while since we’ve updated…Savannah got to try Rice cereal, as you can tell from the pics it wasn’t her favorite flavor in the world!
