Anchorage

5-13-13 Weather is forecasted to be cloudy/rainy and continued cool – so decided it was a day to go to Anchorage ~35 miles.  The visitor center let us know so many of the things just aren’t open yet  or not on Mondays so we took a bus tour of the city, had lunch, and enjoyed some touristy things.

Cook’s Inlet was named after the early explorer looking for the Northwest Passage – alas he didn’t find it in Alaska

Enjoyed a stop at the Wild Berry store for chocolate fix.  This the largest chocolate fountain.
