Day 2 - 8/2 - Anchorage to Seward

Once Chris succeeded with getting the car we stopped at local Costco and stocked up on all the food and drinks that we thought we needed and headed towards Seward. The ride was somewhat long so in order to break it up and stretch our legs we stopped for a hike at the base of Mt Alyeska in Girdwood. We did the Winner Creek Gorge hike with beautiful views and a hand tram crossing over the valley. After the hike we arrived downtown Girdwood (it was sort of hard to find as there is only a post office, clinic, and a restaurant). We thought we missed it… but in the end we realized that it really was it. Chair 5 - what appeared to be the only restaurant in town… had an excellent selection of food and we all said that it was the best food we have ever had. It may have had something to do with how hungry we were ;o) Once we satisfied our hunger we headed for our accommodation for the night in beautiful Victorian Serenity cabins in Seward. Luckily, they looked better from the inside than they did from the outside. And they were by the sea... you just had to walk to it a lil bit. :o) The light outside at 11 pm was (and still is) tripping me out.
