more travels

And now we continue on our journey...
Wednesday:
We slept in till 7 am. Then while I got ready, Andrew went to get the rental car. Once he came back we loaded the boys into the car and headed to breakfast (an incredibly yummy breakfast at a place called The Cookie Jar).
Then to get a communication device (aka Cell Phone).

Next stop Fred Meyers to find out about Bush Delivery for food only to find out that it is the other Fred Meyers that we want to go to about this (there are 2 in Fairbanks). So while we were there we bought coats to get us through until inservice in September when we can get all our cold weather gear.
On our way to the other Fred Meyers we got sidetracked by a Farmer’s Market. It was an amazing Farmer’s Market with absolutely HUGE vegetables! (as well as some really yummy other foods). I even found mustards that I like (amazing feat on my husband’s part to find this)

Next adventure was taking the dogs to the dog park. We weren’t able to take them in the area where you can let them off leash cause there were too many other dogs there, so instead we took them on the trail by the dog park that goes along the Chena River. The boys were in their glory with all the smells and trotting along the trail.

Now it was time to go buy food for the next couple of months. It’s amazing how much food you think it will take to get you through at least two months and even scarier to realize that it probably wasn’t enough. After purchasing all the food then we take it back to Bush Delivery area and set up our account to do the deliveries.

Back to the hotel for a bit to relax and make some phone calls to the parents. Then off to dinner.

We head to a little town outside Fairbanks call Fox to go to an amazing place called The Turtle Club. It was an absolutely delicious dinner of Prime Rib and Alaskan King Crab and there was sooooo much food that even the boys got to enjoy some of the Prime Rib (yes I know they are spoiled!).

On our way home we decide to take a drive around the surrounding areas of Fairbanks. We stopped several places along the way to take photos (which I will put up very soon). It was odd to realize that it was after 10 pm and it was still daylight out, not just dusk type daylight but full daylight! You would think that there would still be a pseudo night since all the stores close around 10 but there were still TONS of people out and about! I guess that’s what you do when the sun is out for 20 hours a day.

Finally we made it back to the hotel (still with plenty of daylight left). We packed up most of our stuff and got ready to fly in the morning again, this time to our new home.
