The beginning of Spring Break...

Wow! I can't believe it's Tuesday already! We tried to get out of Stu on Friday but everyone was trying to get out of the village so we made it out Saturday. This worked well because Mary Jane started to have MAJOR contractions so because she was able to stabilize and make it to Anchorage I was able to take Monkey with us on Saturday so she could be with her mom. Overall a very good situation!

We stayed in Anchorage Saturday night and went out to begin the St. Patty's Day celebrations...and I ran into Vince and Deborah it was awesome! We ended up having breakfast with them on Sunday before we headed to Alyeska.

Sunday after going to my new favorite store (Title Wave Books - a used bookstore, it's AWESOME!) and getting groceries (which was entertaining when we got settled into the condo we realized that we had only bought healthy food which included fresh fruits, vegetables and yogurt but had forgotten to get chips or other great late night junk food!) When we got in we walked around and just kind of hung out. The hottub has been GREAT!! Along with our view of the mountain. I'm still completely amazed by all of it!

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day so while everyone else was skiing/snowboarding, I walked into the Village of Girdwood...dude there's nothing there! Except a great coffee shop! But that's about it! It works though! We headed out to hear a live band last night though, which rocked! It was a mix of folk, old country (some GREAT Johnny Cash) and some Irish music. It was a riot just dancing and meeting random people.

So the pics are from our trip so far! One is Staci as we're sitting outside watching people come in from skiing and so forth. It's been amazing just with it being warm enough to sit outside and hang out. And of course today it's snowing which is fabulous! (Ok so I'm having some problems with getting the pics to load...I'm working on it!)
