We wake to rain yet again. Thinking of the old rhyme, rain,
rain go away come again some other day. State Fair opens today, but decided to
wait till tomorrow to go, as it is supposed to be sunny and 72 degrees. Dean is wide awake and raring to go. We babysit while Brenna runs errands. Dean has us wound around his little finger,
he whimpers and he gets picked up. Hard
to resist. We try to avoid eye contact
but he giggles at us and we are putty in his hands. As we reach down to rescue
him from his bed he wiggles all over with joy.
Sorry Mom and Dad he is irresistible when he smiles at us! We take off for a night on the town. First we stop at Simon and Seafort’s Happy
Hour. We land a table in the bar by the windows overlooking the inlet. The clouds lay low and gray you’d never know
there were incredible mountain vistas hiding.
We don’t mind, the inlet is still a fun place to watch. We try various Happy Hour drinks and hors
d’oeuvres. Everything is very
delicious. We stop in midtown to check
out the Eastern European grocery store that includes Russian, Ukrainian,
Croatian specialties. We drive back
downtown and walk to the Polar Gift Store to pick up a couple more
souvenirs. We end the night at the top
of the Captain Cook Hotel at the Crow’s Nest bar. Very fancy with beautiful views looking east
over the city toward the Chugach Mountains.
The weather is brightening with patches of blue skies. We have a couple drinks and nibbles while
enjoying the views. Back to the apartment getting ready for the Alaska State
Fair tomorrow. Dean’s first state
fair! Night.
