Friday was our last day in Alaska. Twas a sad(dish) day.
We headed to Alyeska in Girdwood. Alyeska's a pretty popular ski resort in AK. I would say it's more for those who can do the triple black diamonds without peeing themselves, because the mountain basically just goes straight down. There is no slope to it whatsoever. So in the winter, people obviously ski and snowboard down the mountain and in the summer, insane people hike up it. We don't participate in physical activity in this family, so we took a tram ride up to the top of the mountain.
This was part of the view from the tram. Dad wouldn't jump out, don't know why..
Once we got to the top of the mountain, we had a little photo shoot because we're such a good looking family.
Cutie mom and dad, with some hottie in the background photobombing.
Another attempt at a family selfie. Mom had a bug go in her ear that she later claimed crawled into her brain. Ok ma, whatever you say.
After we were done modeling, we went inside a little sandwich cafe at the top of the mountain and ate, because we haven't done that enough already this trip. I don't remember what I got, I just know that I inhaled it and it was delicious.
Mom wants me to share with you about the hygiene of this cafe. When we first sat down, there was a sad looking woman who was cleaning the tables. We didn't notice anything unusual until she started cleaning the tables near us. Can you guess what she was cleaning the tables with? Wellllll let me tell you. It was a mop. She was cleaning the tables with a floor mop. Let's just say she probably won't be getting employee of the month anytime soon.
After we judged the woman cleaning and stuffed our faces some more, we decided our time at Alyeska was done. But only because there was literally nothing else to do. Once we peaced, we drove down to Palmer, AK and set up camp there for the night. When we got there, I asked dad if I could give him a piggy back ride from the car to inside the motor home (usually when I transfer him, it's just from the car to his chair). It took maybe 0.2 seconds for him to agree and 0.3 seconds for mom to tell dad he was stupid for trusting me. I unfortunately didn't make it up the steps in the motor home so I just dropped dad on the ground. Just kidding. But I really almost did. Once we were all good again, mom, Nikki, and I played Rummey and dad Facebooked and checked AOL news (because it's such a reliable source for the latest updates in the world). Then we slept our little hearts away.
AAAAAAaaaaaaaand that was Friday.
