Day 2 - Fairbanks

We didn't get to our Airbnb until after 2a, so Wednesday was a very slow day, which was good because Fairbanks is a pretty low-key town. We grabbed breakfast (great crepes!) and wandered around the small downtown area. Eventually we stumbled into the visitor's center and were pleasantly surprised by how much there was to see. Great art and lots of info and exhibits about life just south of the Arctic Circle.

After our morning meandering, we headed back to rest again at the Airbnb. Later in the afternoon we popped down to the Fairbanks Ice Museum where our southern boys loved ice sledding. We also watched an ice sculptor create a winter scene with power tools. Keeping with the cold theme, we also found some ice cream.

At this point our jet lag was setting in, so we headed back for some more rest and discovered the city had dug up the road in front of our apartment. Thankfully we still had water. Dad, of course, chatted up the workers then spent an hour sitting on the porch watching the spectacle.

We ended the night with hand made Thai noodles at a great Thai place. Fairbanks is a sleepy town, but the food is fantastic. Finished with night with movie and early bedtime.
