In Anchorage with my Dad

:

In Anchorage with my Dad

On January 8, we were packing for our trip the next day. We were going to Anchorage to see my dad. That night my mom went out to Slaviq. Since Jake and I had stayed up late the night before, we tried to go to sleep at 10:00 p.m. because we were taking the morning flight to Bethel. But we couldn't sleep so I set my alarm for 7:55 a.m. and we went to watch t.v.

My mom had to wake Jake and me up at 9:40 a.m. because we slept through my alarm. My alarm rang for such a long time that my mom turned it off because she was tired of hearing the beeping.

After we got up I had breakfast. Then Jake and I put our suits on with our ski pants over them.

When we got to Bethel it was about 11:00 a.m. Our flight was at 7:30 p.m., so we were in no hurry. We stayed at Hageland's for an hour, then we got a ride over to Reeve Airlines.

While we were waiting for our flight we saw Ben Peteroff, Tracy Fitka and Paula Shorty. Ben was going to Anchorage, Paula just got back from Anchorage, and Tracy was just there meeting people, I guess.

In Anchorage my dad met us at the gate. We ate in the airport and then called the hotel to come and pick us up.

The next day we went to the Dimond Center. While we were there we watched "Titanic" and went shopping a little. Then we went back to the hotel and stayed there until the next day.

The next day, my mom went shopping with her friend, and my dad took Jake and me to the Dimond Center again. This time we had more fun because the last time we had watched "Titanic" which was about three and a half hours long and we couldn't do much.

The next day we got up at 5:00 a.m. and went to the airport to catch the morning flight at 7:00 a.m. When we got to Bethel, we waited in the airport again and then came home. It was a short visit in Anchorage but it was nice to see my dad again.
