Jim and I picked up Jacob from the summer camp at his school and we all went downtown. We stopped at Earthquake Park. This shows the effect the 1964 earthquake had on Anchorage and the surrounding area. We went to the Native Alaskan Hospital. This hospital has a marvelous array of native arts and crafts. You start on the 5th floor and work your way back to the 1st floor via the stairwell. They had beautiful ivory carvings, dolls, clothes, baskets and masks. We went to the Alaska Aviation Museum. There were lots of memorabilia from Alaska pilots and also some ghosts of old planes. They were in the process of restoring one. Jacob got to fly a flight simulator in hanger #3. It was cool. We drove to the Alaska Museum and looked at the art and a great display that came from the Smithsonian of Alaska Native artifacts. There is an Imaginarium inside the building that encompasses 3 rooms. Jacob had a great time in there. It's like the Childrens Museum in Houston with a science twist. We went in the Army/Navy store and got me a rain suit. Jim has one he got at Fred Meyers and I needed one to go fishing this weekend. Everyone got back around 6 and Mary and I made some sour cream chicken enchiladas with some roasted Hatch chiles that I brought we us. Three of the men who went fishing with Phil came over too. They packaged the fish in airtight bags down in Phil's "man cave" and divided it all up. There was an amazing amount of fish! Note Phil's latest brewing system -- lots of valves to keep track of!
