So after our busy and awesome weekend – the real purpose for our trip kicked in – family, specifically my brother’s wedding! Monday found my brothers, dad & Kevin golfing very early and Mom, Steve & I shopping for food, etc. We picked up my niece Sarah and shopped some more. Later that evening most of the family gathered for food and some music practice and reconnecting.
Tuesday found mom & I headed out to meet Erica for some girl time i.e. Manicures and pedicures! We ended up being 1 of 3 groups that included a bride getting ready for a wedding.
Wednesday was a big day for Steve & Kevin. They got up very early so that they could be at the train station to ride the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Seward. This is an incredibly scenic trip and Kevin took a lot of pictures.
My mom and I made a side trip to Girdwood to pick up some handmade chocolates for the rehearsal dinner and then met Kevin & Steve in Seward. We had lunch, drove around town trying to kill a little time before we checked into our bed and breakfast.

After settling in – we met up with my dad and the 5 of us headed off to have dinner at Apollos. This was the start of some great food in Seward. If you are ever in Seward and want great pizza or calazones – this is the place to go. Yum!
We turned in fairly early as mom & dad & Kevin were heading out early for a charter fishing trip with members of our family and Erica’s the next day. I really should let Kevin write about the fishing trip – it was pretty cool and they had a great time.
Steve and I headed out to the Sea Life Center on Thursday while everybody else was fishing. We saw seals, sea otters, fish, octopi, sea lions and birds. Steve loved the birds!
Tales of the fishing trip and wedding in the next installment!
