A busy weekend in Alaska...but it payed off.

So spent the weekend in Anchorage getting a flavor of my new job and looking for new housing. Really turned out to be a great weekend, lots of work, but it payed off in the end.
I got to spend the day with Carl seeing what it is like to be a Boiler Inspector. Pretty low stress job for what I see, just a whole lot of driving. Roz spent the Friday looking at all the houses that we thought we might like. She did a great job getting it narrowed down to just a few. Saturday we finished looking at a few places and then had dinner with Carl and Carol at a great place in town. Was nice to meet some great people talk about what it is like up there. Sunday we took a second look at the two houses we had narrowed it down to.









So on the flight up there got a couple of pictures from the airplane coming into cooks inlet.










Here is the Moose that Roz kept saying that she wanted to see before we left. He was at the entrance to Kincaid Park in Anchorage. I got real lucky that this guy just happened to be here for lunch. Didn't know where I was going to find one before we left.
 
 





This was some of the mountains leaving Cooks Inlet on the way out.

   

The captain when we were leaving Seattle got permission to do a fly by of Mt Rainer. Got a few good shots from the phone and my 2 inches of widow that I had.





Finished up with putting an offer on a house about 30 miles northeast of Anchorage. Its going to be a little drive for me but it is everything that we were looking for. Found out to that they have accepted our offer with a little modification and we are started down the road to owning not one but two houses. Pictures will follow once we get up there in a couple weeks. If you know of anyone that needs a house in San Diego please let us know, we can work something out.

Well they come and pack us out next week, got an appointment to drop off the car to have the Navy ship it, and have sold the other car to our neighbors. Things are slowly coming together.
