June 25. Drove to Talkeetna. Stopped at the visitor center. We camped here overnight before. Same man at desk. Had lunch at the Denali Brewery and Pub for a great meal of fish and sweet potato fries- one of our favorite meals from 2010. Well worth the return! Walked around town a little, then off again. Stopped at the Alaskan Veterans Memorial and took pictures. Drove on to Wasilla to stay at Fred Meyers, but manager said no. We then went on to Walmart where the manager welcomed us.
June 26. Went to the visitor center and bought a beautiful book and cute print of sea otters and a beaded necklace made from Wasilla potatoes. From there we all went to the Iditarod headquarters where we got to hold some puppies-several pictures for this. Saw a nice film. From there to the Dorothy G. Page museum where we saw a film of the 2011 Iditarod race. Went to lunch across the street at a sub and salad place, then back to spend the night at Walmart.
June 27. My birthday. I cannot believe I am this old. Drove to Anchorage. Camped at Centennial Municipal park. Friendly staff. Decent camp sites. Went to the visitor center-pictures. An outdoor concert was going on. Flowers all over. Had lunch at the Glacier Brewery. Food not very good!
Duke and I then went to the Alaskan Sausage Company for a few things. Rained. Marv and Vicki had us over for cake and ice cream and presents. Duke gave me an Ipad and a dressy purple tshirt.(We just got it in town). Vicki gave me a Pier 1 gift card which I love. Also wine glass candles- I had seen them in Leavenworth and really liked them. A fun evening.
June 28. We spent most of the day going all over- 2 Best Buys, Target, Sams,Walmart, Sportsman's Warehouse, Liquor Store and the Ulu Factory. (Met Ted and Cindy there).They were beside us in Fairbanks. In all it was truly a shopping day!
