Valdez

Robert and I made a trip about 6 hours east of us to Valdez last weekend. He is taking over a small practice there. It will be only a couple of days every six weeks. The orthodontist there has had it for 4 years and is ready to turn it over to someone else. This is what we have been looking for--an adventure and a little extra income to help with our massive student loans.

The last time I was in Valdez I was 9 years old and my only memories are fishing and receiving the worst spanking of my life---another story for another time. I was happy to return and was quite enamored by the place. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Robert and I drove down with Bobby and enjoyed somewhat of a weekend getaway. Here are some pictures we took. We will return the end of June with the rest of the family.




A very intriguing sculpture by the community college.



The harbor. Call me crazy, but I love the smell there!



Nice catch Robert--I'd say about a 12 pounder!
