Anchorage Vacation

Myself being held a prisoner of vacation by US immigration, while Craig is hard at work training for his north slope job I am enjoying a mini-break in the big city of Anchorage.

Yesterday morning after dining on Ina's grapes and special K, Saebo and I took to the roads of the east and heading up to Flat Top Mountain (3550ft elevation) in the Chugach State Park. Seeming you drive and park at about 2000ft elevation it sounds a lot more badass than it is, and Saebo wimped out due to gale force winds so we didn't even make it to the very top.

Regardless, Saebo and I had a blast up in the mountains while taking in the scenic views over the Cook Inlet..the Autumn colours are definitely here. (FYI-I will always spell colour with a 'u' and will write Autumn instead of Fall, you can take a girl out of the England but you can never take the English out of the girl :)

Here's a little clip of our crazy-ass dog doing his nutter dance in the wilderness.












After picking up Craig from his class in the evening, we did a bit of shopping where we purchased nearly matching North Face Jackets. Looking so snazzy we decided to show the town how hot we both looked and headed to Bears Tooth Restaurant, a wannabe-trendy hippy joint. On the way Craig took us on a slight detour to a seriously 1st class-hippy organic store that offer shots of wheatgrass.

After slowly consuming 2 ounces of this grass for detoxifying purposes, we headed to bears tooth where there is always a complimentary wait of atleast 15 minutes for a table. This was ample time for the wheatgrass to take its effects on our empty stomachs causing dizziness, nausea and for myself a nice puking spell in the Bear's Tooth parking lot.
Craig tried his best to hold down the juice, but made the executive decision to induce some vomiting before we fine-dined on a Quiznos sub.

Note for first-time wheatgrassers, make sure you have something in your stomach before consuming, or even wiser just don't do it at all. I'm leaving the wheatgrass to the ungulates.
