I'm back from Valdez! Guess who got a cold there? Me. Joyy. We drove there on Wednesday..I felt sniffy and kept getting worse as the day went on. The weather was rainy at one point but got better around the Black Rapids area. Then it was pretty nice and sunny the rest of the way. The weather was reaaallly nice in Valdez..it actually felt HOT cause it was so sunny there haha. It may even have been more sunny than when we went last year. We drove to the bed and breakfast we were staying at..a bunch of mom's coworkers were there so we said hi and then brought our stuff into the house. The owners had a cute dog that was the same breed as the family in Wisconsin..AND her name was Maggie! SO WEIRDD haha. I picked her up and she licked me like crazy hehe. We got dinner after that..my throat started feeling weird then. I went to bed feeling bleh

We had to get up at 5 something the next morning..my throat was hurting then. Breakfast was at 6..I took some Motrin and then went to eat. Del (the lady who owns the business) made an AMAZING breakfast all by herself..there was eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, a fruit platter, etc. I felt sorry for her doing all that work haha. Then we went to the boats to start fishing for silver salmon! The weather was still pretty nice but got cloudier as the day went on. We didn't have to go very far to fish..we spent a lot of the day out there trying to find them and catch them. I caught two! Yay! Hehe. Mom was the only one to catch the limit (six). The charter lady had to beat the fish with a club so it wouldn't flop everywhere..I couldn't watch that..ugh. We eventually went back to the harbor and the charter lady filleted them for us and we also went to get them frozen so they'd keep till we got home. After that we had dinner with our little group from the boat (we were split into two groups). I got some Theraflu at the store and sipped that while waiting for dinner to come. I guess it helped a little. After dinner we went back to the B&B and I took a couple hour nap. I also tried to get online but my computer couldn't find their connection. Mom went back to the store and got some Nyquil for me so I took that and went to bed

Friday we're gonna go fishing with one of mom's coworkers and possibly someone else at the Chatanika River northeast of Fairbanks. We're gonna fish for king salmon. I haven't fished in years haha. We'll have to get licenses..
