Princess

Today was rather rainy and overcast, and the forecast doesn't have much sunshine insight...  A few of the kids on the trail crew returned today and we all decided to take a trip up to Princess Lodge to live like Lower 48 kids for a few hours.  We all ordered a box of french fries which were rather delicious and I also had a caramel macchiato.   After enjoying my two indulgences and some online shopping (don't worry Mom I didn't by anything!), we headed over to the hot tub.  There are two hot tubs out side that have mountain views on a clear day!  It was very relaxing and enjoyable and I might even go more often!  Time sure does fly when you're having fun because we were there for about 5 hours and it flew by, much like my entire summer here in Alaska.  I forgot to bring my camera this time, so there won't be any pictures of our adventures, but you can look up the lodge on-line, it is affiliated with Princess Cruise lines and they have lodges all over the state, this one just happens to be located in Denali State Park.

Headed back to work tomorrow, so hopefully I will have some more reporting for you all soon.  I am sort of dreading this upcoming week, because of 4th of July.  It has been the one thing on my mind since I left Maine.  I am so used to spending it on the Lake surrounded by the same great family and friends with boats, fireworks and maybe a few drinks.  But here in Alaska the sun never sets so there will be no fireworks and most likely no drinks either.  But who knows, maybe I will start a new tradition up here and just keep falling in love with this magical place.
