Decided to take a little road trip to Seward today. Seward is about a 2 hour scenic drive from Anchorage. No that's not my car. Were you getting jealous? I really like the sunglasses or are they safety glasses? I guess the fake wood paneling didn't dress this classic car up enough.
We headed down to go to the Seward Sealife Center. The boys love to watch Woody, the very large Bull Stellar Seal, pictured below, and say hi to Chloe, who is usually at the Alaska Zoo, here in Anchorage. We found out that last summer, Chloe, pictured above on the blue, became a mother while at the Sealife Center. Her son isn't going back to the zoo with her, once her new home is finished getting renovated, but will be coming back with another youngster, pictured being hand fed by a trainer, that could someday be her mate. 
On the way down we saw Beluga whales and several bald eagles. On the ride back we were able to see a gianormous Bore Tide coming down through Turnagain Arm. Very cool! Wish I could of taped the sounds of this bore tide. It makes the swallowing swoosh sound of a large ocean wave never getting to crash onto the shore. A truly intimidating sound. Shortly after this, we saw a very large pod of belugas, who were taking advantage of the incoming tide, to make their way back down the arm, in search for hooligan.
Days like today are a healthy reminder of why I moved here and why I stay.
