Seward, Alaska

Moose On the Loose

Today we finally saw some Moose! IT was a pretty good wildlife day. Paul saw a bear, we saw a salmon shoot right up a river from the ocean, lots of bald eagles and two Moose on the side of the rode munching greens up in Kenai.

Homer Spit

Today we drove all the way down to the Homer Spit. Then end of the Highway through curvy mountainous roads, rivers, and finally to the ocean on both sides. It was windy and rainy when we arrived to our RV parking spot. The waves were crashing about 3 feet from the RV. Then we went for a walk and the weather turned into a nice calm evening. I just about lost my wedding ring into a crack above the ocean on the boardwalk but tackled it and saved it. We were shocked to see how much the ocean tide hoes down in such a short amount of time. After a few hours walks we could see for a mile or so out into the quicksandy spit. The water was far away and back again the next morning.

Our Fishing Honeymoon?

Today we chartered a boat that took us up river and dropped us off on the Talkeetna River fro a full sunny day...8:00 until 7:00 of fishing. I did a lot of doodling...Paul did alot of fishing. He caught his limit-two silver salmon and also a cysco. Looks like we won't go hungry.

Beautiful Talkeetna, Alaska

Today we traveled to Talkeetna, Alaska... A very, very small little hippy town, consisting of a 1/4 mile rode lined with small homey restraunts, art galleries, exploring Alaska outfitters; that run through town and meets where three rushing rivers collide into a view of Mt. McKinnly the highest point in the USA...I think all of North America. Mt. McKinlly looks white and Blue and very far away even when you are close to it. The locals say that you can only see it 6-7 days a year. But we saw it the first 3 days of our trip. We felt very lucky.

RV Merdzinski

Who wouldn't want to travel 1000 miles through curvy bear country roads to go fishing in rivers and the ocean in 31 foot RV for your honeymoon? Beats me.

We stopped at JJ and Trisha's. Paul love all the mounts from mountain goats to bear to fox....Lots of them. Then we headed to Fred Meyer for shopping and the Sportsman shop for our fishing licenses. Finally we were on our way to a Sheep creek to so some fishing. We both fished and caught chums and pink salmon. Which we were advised not to eat so we had crab legs and a fire instead.

Leavin' On a Jet Plane

We took off for Alaska as Mr. and Mrs. Merdzinski...yes I spelled that correctly. My new last name is that alphabet soup you see above....So we took off for Alaska on our honeymoon 2 suit cases and 6 fishing poles...Looks like I need to work on spelling and math....Bon Voyage!

Our Happy Day

Oh Happy Day....

Let the good times roll...

Husband and wife's first dance....Is that what you call it?

Rehearsal Workday

It was nice to have so many people help out with our wedding. Friday before lots of people showed up to set up, wash, organize, rearrange, cut, pick, chop and of course drink beer. This was the day emotions started to finally kick in...so much love...was overwhelming until the end of the night. It was a red sky that night...sailor's delight? Looks like the lore didn't hold true for the next day...but we barely even noticed.
