Anchorage

Sunday we left to go to Anchorage, stopping to get gas and breakfast. I mostly read and looked at scenery. We went through villages/towns called Nenana, Houston (heyyy :P), etc. Well we finally got to Anchorage...it's soooo much better than Fairbanks. We went to TWO malls haha. In the first we walked around and I think mom bought me a jacket for winter. The second..it was like 3 or 4 floors! It reminded me of Vista Ridge Mall in Texas. Ryan bought some shoes at Journeys, then went to the Hot Topic next door and I got 3 CDs!! I got "Oceanborn" by Nightwish, "Framing Armageddon" by Iced Earth, and "Fate of Norns" by Amon Amarth. The person behind the counter recommended Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana to me. Ryan got skinny jeans. :P We ate dinner there. Mom found the hotel..then she drove Ryan to the airport. He left the TV on this Alaska tourist show or something..I changed it and watched the end of Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Larry King Live (the top 10 from American Idol were on there. David Cook seems very mature about winning!). When mom returned we talked (I read about this event in January where people jumped into the ocean for fundrasing...OMG) and went to bed. Whoever had the TV on and were talking and banging doors at 2 in the morning need to stop being idiots. It actually gets mostly dark in Anchorage! The next morning mom and I went out for breakfast. I put tobasco sauce on my plate and dipped the eggs I was gonna eat next in it...omgggg hoooot haha. We went to this store that had TONS of stuff in it...animal heads/animals on the wall, furs, etc. Then we looked at the bay and walked downtown..OMG cuteeee puppies there! They're gonna be mushing (sled) dogs. Then we got stuff to drink, Chex Mix, smoothies, and gas and left for Fairbanks. We stopped at a couple scenic places and ate dinner at Nenana (there's also Tanana :P). We got home at 9 something haha. Also I met TWO people that lived/used to live in or near Houston :D
