We took my parents to the airport around noon, and then we took Wendi (whose flight didn't leave until 11 p.m.) to Girdwood, AK...home of Alyeska Resort.
We ate lunch at The Bake Shop.
We all had BLT's which were delicious. (But I've really got to try other things on their menu sometime...I've been there twice. And had a BLT there twice. Lame!)
After lunch, we drove around and showed Wendi the sights from the car. (We might have been more adventurous had it not been raining...)
We found the church were LDS sacrament services are held.
We drove by the restaurant we've heard was really good (but have yet to try) called The Double Musky.
We stopped in at the Alaska Candle Factory and got some candles with the coupons from the Northern Lights coupon book that I had.
The owner of the candle factory is really friendly!
Then we drove back to downtown Anchorage where we promptly found a chocolate lounge and had delicious drinking chocolate.
Perfect for a rainy day!
They had all sorts of chocolate-y things in the store. Very unique chocolate-y things! We tried smoked salmon dark chocolate (which actually was good), and we shared a delicious chili chocolate chip cookie (which made me want to make up an experimental recipe for...or google it sometime.)
After that we went to a photo gallery. The photographer's name is John Schwieder, and I really like his work.
It was fun to walk around Anchorage in the rain.
Eventually we left downtown, and made our way south. Back towards the airport. We had dinner at the Bear Tooth Grill. (their garlic cilantro fries are delicious!)
We wanted to see a movie too (it's a fancy place where you can watch a movie and eat your dinner) but there wasn't anything good playing.
And then it was time to take Wendi to the airport.
Good thing they all promised to come back and visit again soon! YAY!
