Boats, Botanicals and Bodies

Vic and I had a the chance to sail on the Bay. This sailboat is owned by a friend and is 47 feet of pure fun.




The Botanical Gardens were full of beautiful blooms and there were tulips everywhere.
At the Hirshhorn Museum there is an exhibit of the human form through the years. I loved the interaction between photographers and the giant in the corner. He was creepy, huge and nude. The Magritte painting was beautiful, please turn your computer to view properly.

Eielson Pics and Ree Nancarrow's Quilt

The visitor center at the part entrance is a new building and has one of Ree Nancarrow's quilts.










Eielson Vistor Center is new, built into the hill in order to give the visitor an unobstructed view of Denali. We didn't see the mountain today, but the building was impressive. Ree's quilt a must see!

Denali, Kantishna and Quilts

The last three days we spent in beautiful Denali National Park. Even on a cloudy day the park is breathtaking. We flew up to Kantishna on Tuesday in a brand new plane and then started our drive back to the entrance of the park. Wonderlake, moose, fox and a mama bear and two yearling cubs. Next was Eielson Vistor Center and Ree Nancarrow's amazing art quilt of Denali.

The Best Mother's Day Ever

Last Mother's Day my wonderful daughter surprised me with a concert on our driveway. Ride the Tiger is the bands name and the members were all students from APU. It was loud, fun and I was speechless. I encourage all parents to let their daughters play electric guitar.
