Herring Season




Spring is here! The herring are coming to Sitka and so are the fisherman! Our harbor is full right now. This is big business up here, so it's really exciting! With the fish come the whales. We saw quite a few today, and I put the best pic I got up. You can see the spout really well (that little puff looking things right above the shoreline!). They were really far away, but we could see them great with our binocs. Can't wait to see everyone playing bumper boats in the next few days.

Sun Valley trip






















This year MC and I took our ski trip to Sun Valley, ID. It was awesome. Great weather. Great skiing. Fun with friends. Perfect vacay. I know it seems weird to want to go some place cold when we live somewhere cold, but there is no skiing in Sitka. Now that the Smiths have gotten me hooked on skiing, I really like it! I'm not good, but I manage to stay on my feet. We're already trying to plan to go there again next year! :)
