    Alaska Adventures: Halibut Feasts, Wild Dandelions & Lineups on the Water

    We rolled out of Heritage RV and made our way farther down the Spit—windows open, sun shining, everyone in good spirits.

    Lunch at Captain Patties was one for the books. Fresh fried halibut, crispy prawns, ocean air, and a mountain view so pretty it looked fake. Alex winked at me mid-lunch—his signature “I love you, Mom” move—and yep, I turned into a puddle right there at the table. 💛

    Afterward, we strolled along the water and poked through shops while the boys turned everything into an adventure. The energy was high, the breeze was perfect, and the seagulls were nosy.

    And the dandelions. Oh my goodness, they were everywhere—yards, roadsides, bar ditches. Alaska dandelions don’t mess around. The boys ran ahead, gathering a wild bouquet for me with the longest stems I’ve ever seen. They held them out with proud grins like they’d just picked treasure. Honestly? They did.

    Then on our drive to Ninilchik, we spotted something we’d never seen before—float planes, all lined up on the water like a tiny airport for boats with wings. It stopped us in our tracks. No takeoffs, no splashes—just lined up in a row, ready for whatever Alaskan thing they were about to do next.

    That evening, we landed at camp with Gary and Jessica—good food, camp chairs, and easy conversation. Gary showed Alex pictures of the fish Lucas caught.
    After dinner, Alex was practically pushing us toward our rv—ready for Mom and Dad to go to bed so he could have his own little slumber party with Gary and Jessica. 😂 He had his plans, and zero chill. Meanwhile, Clark stay with us—he needed a little extra rest. The time change has been catching up to him, and honestly, same.    Read more
