Seward

Our first motorhome trip of the year was to Seward, AK. It's a beautiful drive from Anchorage to Seward so the vacation feel started almost immediately. Plus, we were so happy to be back in the motorhome. Our rental house is great but we're not fully unpacked and we have little furniture. It was nice to be back in a space that's ours.

Seward is a cute town on the ocean. The RV park was basically a humongous gravel parking lot but the views were incredible so we couldn't be mad. Saturday we were woken up by the largest earthquake of the year. There's not much to do in a motorhome but ride it out! We got so lucky with spectacular weather and we walked around town to points of interest I found on my Alaska app. We also visited the Alaska SeaLife Center - the girls got to see and touch a bunch of different sea creatures, and found a very playful sea lion that chased them back and forth. Each of us picked out a souvenir from the gift shop and Kit's choice was a seal that she couldn't stop "talking" to. After lunch and gelato downtown she made her seal into a pillow and took a nice nap.

The next morning we were treated to a view of the fog lifting up over Resurrection Bay. I probably looked like a crazy person, bursting out of our motorhome in pajamas with my camera around my neck, hoping to catch the light just as it was. It was worth it. Totally.
