Bears and Moose

With one big sweep of good fortune, we happened upon the Mt. Alyeska ski resort. It's a gorgeous hotel in a four seasons resort area. It took us about 12 seconds to park the RV, slap over our credit card, and get ourselves a couple of rooms with fresh white linens and steaming hot showers. You can feel our excitement in this lobby shot!

The recurring decorating theme in Alaska: bears and moose. It's just not right without it.

Aidan looks at a bronze outside the window. Almost looks real, right?!

Oh, and a rest-aurant. After showers and blow dryers and beverages served on a tray---then came really delicious fish. Cliff had the salmon, I had the halibut. We ate every juicy morsel.

Jeri poses under the aurora borealis. It's a winter-time phenomenon, so we had to be content with this.

The beautiful grounds of the hotel. This is late, about 10 pm. More midnight sun.

And the moose. The ultimate photo op. Cliff and Jeri --#1

The bear awaits.

The bear hug maximus. As close as I ever want to get.

Cuz of this. Bears are vewwy scawwy.
