Anchorage getaway
Mar. 14th, 2021 09:19 pmOn Friday, we drove to Anchorage..it was beautiful and sunny the whole way!! It was so nice to see the mountains again, shining in the sun. We got to Anchorage just in time to watch Scott's game (same team as Thursday, but they lost this time. You can definitely see how experienced Scott is after five years of playing for Irvine). For dinner we went to Outback Steakhouse, and Dairy Queen for dessert. I love going to restaurants Fairbanks doesn't have, but I hate that you usually have to wait for a table, even if you go early..in Fairbanks, you pretty much never have to wait. After that we went back to the Airbnb, which is nice..I LOVE my bed, it's so comfortable and soft haha. I had to unplug the scent diffuser things they had on though, they were overwhelming to my senses :P
Yesterday was another gorgeous sunny day! We had breakfast and went to get our first covid vaccine (Moderna)! Jo was like "STICK IT IN ME!!" haha..everyone's ready for normalcy. :P It went fine (we'll have to get the second one 28 days later in Fairbanks), and then I spent two or three great hours at Title Wave Books, where I bought too many books. :P We went to Moose's Tooth next, a pizza place..I've always heard how good they are, but never went there until yesterday..I got the chicken parmesan pizza, which was pretty good! Then we went back to the b&b, where a couple of Jo's friends that happened to be in town too came over, and we drank sangria and played a couple board games. It was fun, though one of them was too loud for me lol, and we stayed up way too late, especially since Daylight Savings stole an hour from us. :P The arms where we got our shots were pretty sore by now, but if that's the worst of the symptoms, I'll take that over feeling sick lol (I'm sure carrying a heavy basket of books for three hours didn't help either haha)
I was so tired when I woke up today lol. It was cloudy too, darn. :P We got cinnamon rolls for breakfast and went to a couple malls..we tried to find a couple geocaches, but no luck (my app was being weird for some reason). After the second mall Jo wasn't really feeling well (our arms were still sore too), so we had lunch at Olive Garden (mmmmm breadsticks) and went back to the b&b, where I had a nice nap and watched TV for awhile, then went to get ice cream for dessert (yikes, good thing I don't come to Anchorage very often LOL), and finally successfully found a geocache! Now we're relaxing again. Tomorrow we drive home..these getaways always go by too fast! Fun though, and much needed!
( pics from the drive! )
12. Where would you like to spend the most time? Places I like lol
13. Do you work harder with or without supervision? Without, I'm very self-conscious if someone is watching me
14. Are details more your thing or do you prefer focusing on the big picture? Both lol
