Friday night Nick, dad and I went to the Alaska Salmon Bake, all-you-can-eat salmon, battered cod & prime rib. They also had a variety of salads, baked beans and beverages. For dessert we had a selection of cakes with a concoction of blueberries & apples to put on the plain cake. It was really delicious! Of course, we ate all we could. Here is Nick's first plate of food and mom's first plate of all-you-can-eat. After Nick finished the cod, he felt like he could try some of the other delicasies, too.

The Alaska Salmon Bake is held at Pioneer Park, which has several cabins built in the late 1800's or early 1900's with shops in them. There is an Air Museum and other touristy things to see. We went to Pioneer Park on July 4th to enjoy the festivities, but didn't eat. I've taken a few pictures so you can see how pretty it is. Nick was ok about riding the salmon until some smart alec old guy said "ride 'em cowboy", then he wanted to get down.

Grandma Brough remembers the beautiful flowers when she was in Fairbanks many years ago, and they really are beautiful!

Last night Nick went to see the Simpson's Movie. I think he enjoyed it. He is at the public Library this afternoon checking out CDs, then will vacuum the car - lots of Monty hair since that is the only way we have had to transport him from motel to motel to the condo.

Dad is attending a housing seminar today & I was supposed to go blueberry picking. We had a lot of rain this morning so our picking outing was postponed. Now I am getting the blog set up (maybe there is a reason it rained this morning) so we can keep in touch.

We really love the condo and all the room we have. Next week we should close on the purchase and if there is any money left over (chuckle) we might get another car and possibly living room furniture and/or a set of bedroom furniture.
