Seward

This past week has been spring break and seeing as how it isn't spring yet in Alaska we have tried to make the most of it. We have had sleepovers, friend's come over to play sledding etc..... As a family we decided to head 3 hours Southwest of Anchorage to a small fishing town called Seward. Daylon had won tickets to the Alaska SeaLife Center so we spent a few hours there learning about Bering Sea and all of the sea life that lives in and around it. We touched star fish and sea sponges, played with Woody the steller sea lion, squawked with puffins and seagulls and got to see much much more. It was 20 degrees and very windy so it was super cold so we didn't do much else other than go out to eat. We stayed at a hotel and the kids had a great time jumping on their bed. The next day we ate doughnuts for breakfast and headed back to Anchorage. It wasn't a long trip but it was nice to leave the city and just relax. ( I even had a good time with a broken tailbone.)
