We are just back from our nomadic visit to Alaska/Oregon. My granddaughter, age 12, was a grand co-pilot as we took the winding , wet , mountain viewing roads down to Seward. We stopped at the Portage Glacier, visited and rode the cart ride at the Seavey sled dog kennel, toured the Sea Life Center funded by Exxon's settlement monies for the Valdez spill , toured the Anchorage zoo, and generally had a wonderful grandmother/granddaughter time together. The vast arrray of gift shops kept her happily moving along. My cell phone didn't work for which I was almost grateful.
From there we went to Portland, OR for more family visiting with my son, wife and grandson, taking day trips to Mt Hood and downtown Sandy and Portland. It was 100 degrees in Portland for two days... recordbreaking heat and even the top of the mtn didn't give relief. We caught some photos of a just starting forest fire, which had burned 516 acres last I heard.
