For Labor Day Weekend, we flew into Fairbanks so that we could pick up the rest of our stuff in the storage unit. It was the weekend of the Alaska State Fair, (www.alaskastatefair.org/) so we drove 5 and a half miles down to Palmer to attend.
I have never seen Denali before, so it was a beautiful trip. It was 7:30 when we left Fairbanks so it was quite dark, but we got treated to the Northern Lights above the mountains! Didn't get any pics, but I sure look forward to seeing them this winter.
On Friday, I found this great news article about the State Fair which talked about the Alaska Record pumpking (1400 lbs!) The class asked me if I was going to see it. We didn't, which was a bummer. But I'll definitely get some seeds to inspire them to grow! But there were tons of food vendors, rides, shopping booths, and music. We also got to hang out with my husbands family who lives in the area. It was a great trip.
On the way back, we bought a cooler at Fred Meyers. I filled the bottom with frozen juice concentrate... bought some lobster (2 tails for $13) and King Crab (4 legs for $13) We got some cheese, butter, lunch meat, yogart, and Positano Frozen Pizzas (seriously the best!) We also got some jarred, dry, and produce so we wont have to do a bush order this month. Our fridge is seriously stocked now! :)
The Denali Park was beautiful on the drive up in the light. It was a good time of year to go because of all the beautiful fall colors. :)
