Happy birthday to our nephew Bobby, who is 2 today. Not much exciting happened today, which is good. Most of the day was spent driving. We checked out of the Hotel Edgewater in Seward and drove 172 miles to Homer. We left at 9am and arrived at our cabin in Homer at about 4pm.

We stopped for about an hour and a half at Exit Glacier, which is just outside of Seward. You can walk right up next to this one. Watch out for falling ice! Denise is in this picture, look for a red coat.

I’m not much for roughing it or socializing, so the words “cottage” and “B&B” scare me, obviously Denise picked this one. The Wild Rose Cottages are home for the next 3 days. This is no longer a B&B, it’s just a B now. And it is far from roughing it. It’s better equipped than a hotel except for one of the most important things when you are trying to keep web pages up to date, no phones! The view is pretty spectacular across the bay to the mountains. This picture was taken looking out one of our windows.

Tomorrow, we are off to see more bears, weather permitting.
