Day 1

"Where's the potatoes?" Oh yeah, in the shower. RV living takes a little to get used to. We picked up the RV at around 11:00. The people of Alaska are very nice but, love to talk. Didn't get out of the Rv place for almost 2 hours. Shopped at something like super walmart. Bought all our food and rv camping gear. Went to Wendy's after spending $300.00 in food. Livy threw her retainer in the trash, AGAIN! Had to fish it out. Gross! We drove through some of the most beautiful country. Visited a Musk Ox farm and we even got to feed them. Learned about how they use the hair from the ox to give to local artist to spin and knit with. Each region is only aloud to knit a specific pattern. Alex found this very cool. The yarn is extremely expensive. A blanket will go for $6,000-$8,000. Alex T (from Jeopardy) is a support of this farm (non-profit) and he was there only two days prior. The driving is a little scary (Only to Mom the girls added). One of those dig your finger nails into the car door drives. High mountains with beautiful mountain ranges. Even saw a glacier today. Staying at a Rv park tonight between palmer and glen allen. It is after 10:00 and completely light outside. The inside of the RV is so bright, hard to sleep. The girls brought eye masks to help. It started raining early this evening, other wise the day was nice around 68 degrees. Started raining around 8:00pm ( guess we brought it with us). Down to the low 40's tonight.
