Almost Home

7/23 Another long day in the car; 9 1/2 hours to Medford; my in-laws prepared a great spaghetti feast for us, complete with chocolate cake and ice cream. Nice to sleep in a king size bed again! So we will head home today, two days early, and we're all pretty excited about it.

I've gotten a few comments about Phil's Grizzly Adams look... While we have gotten used to it, it's driving him a little crazy, so all comes off on Sunday before he goes back to work.

I polled the family about their favorite sights on this trip, and received the following:
Favorite campsite: Phil and Tyler: Childs Glacier in Cordova, AK; Joan: Denali Ntl. Park; Chris: shrugs his shoulders.
Favorite activity or sightseeing attraction: Phil, Joan and Tyler: Childs Glacier; Chris: Shrugs his shoulders.
Favorite animal sighting: Phil, Joan and Tyler: Black bear and cub crossing our path during Exit Glacier Hike; Chris: Shrugs his shoulders
Favorite book read on the trip: Phil - "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer (the only book he completed), Joan - "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey (thanks Kim M. for the book!); Tyler - "Sahara" by Clive Cussler, Chris - shrugs his shoulders ("all of them" he says, I think he's read over 15 books, again thanks to Kim and Randy M. for all the Cussler books!).

Can't wait to converse with my fellow bunkettes on Friday and catch up!
