Sunday - Seward -part (3)

Tiny Meals, Big Laughs: Southbound Tales on the Kenai

And just like that—we were off to Seward! The trip’s been going good so far, and we’ve really enjoyed getting to see different parts of the state. Now we’re heading back south to the Kenai Peninsula.

On the drive , we spotted water flowing straight out of the side of a mountain. Just pouring out like it had always been there. It was one of those simple little things that makes you pause—so unexpected and beautiful. Alaska’s full of those moments.

Once we rolled into town, both rigs topped off on fuel and we decided to eat out for dinner. We ended up at a little roadhouse… let’s just say the portions were not made for hungry travelers. Alex was the first to say, “I’m still hungry,” and it didn’t stop there. One by one, all the way up to Micah, everyone agreed. We were cracking up. Definitely not the meal to fill a crew our size!

After dinner, we got parked and walked down to the beach. The kids were busy finding all kinds of “treasures.” At one point, Alex looked at me and said, “This is better than Christmas.” 😂 It was so funny—and honestly kind of true. They were in their element.

Micah had pushed Grant down to the beach in a stroller, but once we hit the rocks, the wheels weren’t having it. So he just left the stroller and carried Grant the rest of the way. We wandered a good stretch of beach, looking around and letting the kids explore.

On the way back, a lady asked me if the stroller out on the rocks was mine. I told her it was Micah’s, and she gasped! Apparently, she and another woman had been watching it, thinking someone had left a baby all alone on the beach. They were talking 90 miles an hour, all worked up. It was pretty funny once they realized everyone was fine.

As we headed back to the RVs, we saw a tugboat pulling in a barge—not something you see every day. Ryan pulled out the camera and snapped a few pictures of me. I’d usually rather be behind the lens than in front of it, but I’m thankful for the memories.

All in all, it was a pretty great Sunday. Thankful for the laughs, the beauty, and the memories we’re stacking up.Baca lagi
