Had a great time in Seward even though it rained most of the time we were there.

My friend Suzette (have known her since we were 5!) had some complimentary tickets to the Seward Sealife Center and so we spent our last day there looking at and touching all the cool sea creatures. Well, Mya didn't touch anything - she didn't want to put her hand in the starfish tank!! But we saw sea lions, fur seals, puffins, an Octopus and a bunch of Octopus babies - really tiny. They also had a great display of salmon, from the hatchlings up to the 5-year-olds. But our favorite was this little stingray that seemed to be smiling at all the tourists:-)
The girls and I also walked to the Seward Library and Museum (Couldn't miss the library!) . The building it just beautiful. The outside is covered in these metallic rectangles that change color as you walk by - opalescent I believe would be the right description - like fish scales. Upstairs is the library which looks brand new and has great little teen area. Downstairs is the museum and we got to watch some short videos of folks who lived in Seward during the earthquake. Fascinating to hear the first hand accounts of that infamous event.

| My attempt at creativity. |
We left rainy Seward behind (the clouds were getting brighter as we left!) and headed to Quartz Creek. This is probably one of our favorite Alaskan campgrounds. It's right on Kenai Lake - such amazing turquoise water. Girls practiced their rock skipping skills and I created "nature art".

Had a lovely two days there but time to head into Anchorage visit with family and friends. My brother, Clay, flew in from South Carolina and my mom was in from Homer. Nice family reunion.
