KP (Kenai Peninsula) Fun- Cooper Landing

Despite our schedules being "off" for part of the summer, Vince and I are making the most of it! I planned a fishing trip for his (early) birthday present last month, and we had a blast! It's always nice to get out of the "big city" ;)

We started off our trip in Cooper Landing (a small town between Anchorage and Soldotna just off the Seward Highway). This is the cabin I reserved...

...a little on the older side, but it was clean and it had everything we needed :)

There was a nice little place to sit down by the river- relaxing!

We spent part of the afternoon walking around and taking in the scenery; here's Vince looking at some Dall Sheep that were up in the mountains (too cool)

We eventually worked up an appetite and decided to try this BBQ stop

...not too shabby for small town Alaska

We weren't ready for bed yet, so we decided to head down the road to check out the Kingfisher Roadhouse... Drinks by Kenai Lake and live music sounded good to us!

The view from our seats...

...and the live music was great. A group from Homer called "The

Barroom Roses" was playing; I would definitely like to see them again!

Knowing we had an early morning ahead of us, we decided to head back to the cabin, relax by the river, and get ready for bed. It was an excellent way to start our fishing adventure :)
