Peninsula Trip June 2013

Yay! It finally quit snowing at the end of May... time to get out and get as much summer as possible in Alaska ;) I wanted to head down to the Kenai Peninsula, visit some family, and show Vince where I grew up in Soldotna. So off we went!

One of the boardwalks along the Kenai River in Soldotna

A young bull moose near the boardwalk; he was definitely camera shy!

My cousin Tara and her daughter Addy (also a little shy)

Snack time!

Caribou near the bridge access road in Kenai

Historic landmark church in Kenai

Pretty cool Russian Orthodox church

I had to take Vince here- not only for the seafood, but also for the

famous jalepeno cheese dip :p

My #1 favorite brewery in Alaska- Kassik's in North Kenai

The next morning, we set out for Homer and stopped

at the first house my dad built in Alaska (now a lodge)

It was fun to visit the house where I have so many good memories

The view of the ocean in the backyard

Our next stop was the little Catholic church in Ninilchik 

where I was baptized... Next stop- Homer!
