glacier_kittyOn Monday, we said bye to grandma and then Cindy and Dean drove mom and I to a hotel near Kansas City Airport (they left the next day to go back to Santa Fe)..much faster without fog slowing us down haha, and I saw the Missouri River for the first time! (That I can remember, anyway. :P) It's the longest river in North America! At the hotel, we put our stuff in the room and then went to dinner..there was a very unhappy looking flight attendant there, and she and one of the waitresses was talking about something to her. It must have been busy before we got there, because the waitress was frazzled and tired. Our food was slow to come out, but it's not like we were going anywhere, and we were like "it's fine!" when the waitress apologized. After we ate, the waitress said something like "how about dessert? It's on me, because you guys have been a breath of fresh air in this whirlwind of madness! You were the nicest table tonight!" Dessert for being kind?? Yes please! Haha. I asked what desserts they said, and what she said sounded like "New York salad cheesecake." I didn't know what a salad cheesecake was, but I was like "ok, I'll try the salad cheesecake." The waitress was like "uhh...uh...do you mean the New York STYLE cheesecake??" HAHA OMG we all DIED laughing! When she brought it I should have said "that's a weird looking salad!" haha. I'm glad we were able to make her night better lol. At one point in the elevator, the person we were in there with told mom and I that we looked like twins..wow haha
Yesterday we flew first to Seattle, and I worked my Weather Magic again, because it was sunny at the airport, but there were clouds all around it! How do I keep doing that?? Haha. Then we flew to Anchorage..on my side there was mostly just ocean and clouds, but it cleared up near Anchorage, and saw some familiar glaciers (Harvard, Columbia, Meares, etc). It was SO pretty!! On the flight to Fairbanks I saw Denali again, but the window was in a weird place, the sun was right there, and the wing was in the way, so I only got one picture (not that I NEED more pics of Denali, but I can't help it :P). As we got to Fairbanks, I saw that the Tanana River was frozen, but the Chena was open! I'm glad we got back relatively early (around 9:20-9:30), since I had to work today (they were happy to see me lol). I laid down in my bed and was like "ahhh, soft" LOL
Leaving Kansas City, with the Missouri River below. Yep, the Midwest is flat :P
OMG SO PRETTYYY
Columbia Glacier..it has retreated a LOT, but it's still huge!
College Fjord and Harvard Glacier
I'm not sure what glacier this is, I don't remember seeing it before! (Though it probably looks different covered with snow)
Harvard Glacier again and Yale Glacier
Knik Glacier in the distance (this is why, whenever I drive to Anchorage, I'm dying to see the Glacier Wonderland on the other side of the mountains LOL)
Foraker and Denali, and a shiny glacier under the wing lol
25. If you were given the ability to reform how your country’s leaders were chosen and how they serve, what would you change? Uhhh..I'm not political enough to answer this :P
26. Records, tapes, CDs, MP3s, streaming: which did you grow up with? What is good and bad about each? Tapes (they can be nostalgic, though it was annoying having to rewind them) and CDs (nice having a physical copy, but annoying when they get scratched) when I was a kid
27. If everyone said what they were actually thinking, what would happen to society? Chaos?? Haha
