Seward

Friday in Anchorage was dedicated to housekeeping and provisioning chores.  We did manage a dinner at the Glacier Brew House to celebrate my birthday.   

On Saturday morning we packed up and headed for the cell phone lot at the Anchorage airport to wait for my Brother Don and his wife Bobbi to arrive.  They got in on time and after a lunch we pointed the Winnebago south towards Seward.

The views along the Turnagain Arm were beautiful and we found ourselves stopping frequently to take photos.

At the bottom of the arm we we began to see closer views of the Chugach Mountains.  The roadsides were lined with a profusion of Lupins and other wild flowers.

We arrived in Seward about 4:00 PM and got settled in to our sea front spot at Millers Landing south of town.  We decided to take advantage of the free, if you bring a dish to share, halibut dinner offered by the campground.  Mary's lentil soup was a big hit.

On Sunday morning we visited the Sealife Center in Seward and learned a lot about the sea life in the area.  Then we made our way to view Exit Glacier about 10 miles out of town.  I visited this glacier almost 20 years ago and was surprised to see how much it had receded.

We just had time for a quick lunch before heading back into town to start our dinner cruise of the Kenai Fjords.  After resolving some confusion about our tickets we explored the Seward Harbor.
