Our Alaskan vacation is nearing the end, but we are still staying in the “I Can See Russia From My House” state for a few more days. So that means that today those of you at Kingsfield will be jamming with Colton again! Today for me, though, offers a couple firsts.
In the morning we are hitting up the Big Wild Life Runs (giggle) 5K in downtown Anchorage. I have never done a run (although we are gonna walk) like this before and I have never had the desire to do so. But, for some reason my wife has a run like this on her Bucket List so we are gonna get it knocked out with a bunch of family! Then after we have settled our Lance Armstrong (minus the bike) adrenalin down we will be heading out to Alyeska for our first night away from our 4 1/2 month old daughter. It will be weird not having her around for that long and we will definitely miss her a lot, but it will be great to get some time away and to ourselves. Doesn’t hurt that Alyeska is beautiful and we might get to touch a glacier.
So since I am gone again from the normal Sunday morning at church, here is a little bit of the expected soundtrack to my Alaskan Sunday.
All Manner Of Disney Songs (because that’s how my family rolls)
Spamalot (if my sister, Reagan, goes on the 5K with us)
Bon Jovi (pretty much a staple)
Foo Fighters (if we actually run some of the 5K)
John Mayer’s Album Battle Studies (because that’s the only CD that’s been in my wife’s car for months now and I am not sure what a road trip would be without it now)
