Off to Kenai

Sorry it's been a while since there's been an update but we've been keeping busy! On Thursday we packed up and left Anchorage to travel down the Kenai Peninsula. Along the way we stopped at a wildlife conservation center and got to see some bears! Although we haven't been able to see any wild ones, these were awesome to see.
After the wildlife center we settled in for a 3 hour drive to Homer, a small town right at the end of the road. It's surrounded by the ocean and mountains and we had a great view of both from our hotel rooms. We also got some fresh fish for dinner and everyone enjoyed that.
Friday we were able to go sea kayaking in the Peterson Bay just off the coast from Homer. The weather was perfect for being on the water and we got to see some great views and wildlife. Along with the multitudes of birds around we saw a sea otter and a couple porpoises. By the time we were done everyone was cold but had a great time. The rest of the afternoon we spent at a museum commemorating the history of the area and had the rest of the night to enjoy the view or catch up on sleep!
