Why I Hate Alaska

This is my last day in Alaska and thus my last web blog entry. It's been a good and at times, bumpy ride but now its time for me to start my new adventure in Florida.

Throughout the summer I have highlighted the good things about Alaska. So to be fair, I now leave you with the reasons I hate Alaska:

1.) Far from Friends and Family
2.) Lots of Mullets
3.) No Target
4.) 2 hour waits at Dairy Queen
5.) Conference Services (but only sometimes guys)
6.) Baseball players, firefighters, and cross country children
7.) Endless sunlight
8.) The Tempo and how it fits in here
9.) August temperatures high of 56 degrees
10.) The potential of being trampled by a bear or moose on my way to work

That's all folks!

No Smores for Moose

The interns got two whole weekdays off this summer so that we could take a trip to Homer. Homer is a fishing town with a few cool tourist-type shops and neat restaurants located on the spit. The spit is a small peninsula that jets into the ocean.

We stayed in a cabin which was decked out in moose decor from the stuffed animals on the bed to the trim on the walls. Our cabin came complete with a constant visiting ten year old child who was the owners daughter and a moose who played peek-a-boo at the camp fire. We had a nice time but we are all ready to go home and see our family and friends at home.
