There's No Place Like Home(r)

No, we really didn't come to Alaska just for the halibut.  Ruth & Grandma came up last Tuesday.  Emily took off work & showed them some of the sights, including Flatop Mt. where they saw a moose & the museums.  The rest of us came up on July 3.  The first picture is Portage Lake.  Last winter we took a picture at the same location.  Hannah thought the trailer hitch balls were interesting.  We saw those in Soldatna, where we had lunch.  Our place in Homer, Jenny Lane Cottage was perfect.  It was located on a cliff above Kachemak bay, as you can see from the picture of Jacob climbing up.  One evening while we were walking on the beach about a mile from the cottage, Jacob & Neil decided to climb back up the cliff.  The rest of us got back & we were wondering where they were.  It was starting to get a little dark around 11:30 & some of us were getting a little worried & went out looking for them.  Turns out they couldn't find the rope & walked about a mile past our place.  (To be continued)
