Homer of a weekend






Well this Friday Kari and I went for a trail bike/run, then did some preparations for our upcoming weekends kayak adventure. Friday was one of those amazing days in Alaska where its warm with not a cloud in the sky...these types of days will make leaving AK super hard! Saturday we went to a birthday party for Neil and had some very tasty hamburgers (thanks Neil and Emily).
I also wanted to include a couple of pictures from our trip down to Homer AK with Kari's parents. We ended up having great weather, a few rain showers and some wind but nothing that terrible. The drive down was enjoyable and we saw a bunch of wildlife like moose, otters, bear, eagles, rabbits, and most important halibut. Steve and I went for a 1/2 day charter and caught our limit (2 each). We were about an hour and a half out, and on the way out we had 4-5 foot seas which made the ride a little bumpy. A few people got sea-sick and lost their lunch...but not Steven and I. We were catching "chickens" in the 12-20lb range and ended up having about 35lbs of meat. This was a super fun trip!
We stayed 2 nights, the first night Kari and I slept on the beach, well actually we slept in the back of the 4-runner, and the second night we stayed in the little apartment above the charter and had a nice BBQ on the beach. This truly was a Homer of a weekend.
