Time to go home

It's our last day in Anchorage before heading home tomorrow.  This morning Joe and I poured over all of our pictures, talked about our favorite things, sketched out what our next visit here might look like, and reorgainzed our checked bags so they'll meet the weight restrictions.

And I went back and ticked off our checklist:

Bears - 3, a mom and 2 cubs
Moose - 8-10, one really up close
Caribou - a couple dozen
Dall Sheep - a couple dozen, but really far away
Eagles - 3, 2 bald and 1 golden
Ptarmigans - 4
Whales - a dozen, at least 9 breaches

Glaciers - at least a dozen, 1 really up close
Giant mountains - 1, other mountains - everywhere

The inside of an outhouse - 2

Beers - according to my Untappd app, I've had 155 new beers in the past 30 days and 188 total checkins
Breweries - 14
Additional bars and taphouses - 16

New foods - reindeer sausage (spicy and delicious), elk (lean and rich), Miagi oysters (blech - no offense Mr. Miagi...I just don't like raw oysters), bacon squares (because, bacon)

Totally tourist spots - a lot...and I loved every one of them

This has been a long trip, and Joe and I are worn out, but I would do it all again.  And we probably will.  Thanks for reading!
