Mother's Day Report

We went to lunch for Mother's Day at the Eureka Lodge. Eureka is 100 miles northeast of our home up the Glenn Highway. Someone had told me on Saturday (at a yard sale) that the food was good there. They were right!

I had a cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake (which I shared with Alicia May). Stephen and Donald both had beer-battered halibut. Tess had grilled ham & cheese. We all had a giant slice of pie to top things off.

The drive was full of great vistas, several moose sightings and a few geocaching stops. (FYI: We download sites from www.geocaching.com and then go find them using our GPS unit.) We also spent some time gandering at the Matanuska Glacier. I put some photos of the day on the dropshots page.

Stephen (and the kids) gave me a new camera for Mother's Day. I'm enjoying the familiar feel as it is an upgrade of the camera we had stolen back in December. Yay!

In other Alaska news, a cruise ship ran aground near Juneau over the weekend. It's been pulled off the rocks and is currently moving under its own power. Nobody was hurt.
