So, all vacations start with my dogs looking pathetic even though they love their dog sitters. Somehow I missed getting a picture of Archie. We were off for a 16 hour plus day of travel and covering 4 time zones. I go off Keto on vacation and always get Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte if we were traveling during the season as in real life, I would never spend that kind of money on Starbucks.
So breakfast of Champions with PSL and chocolate croissant. In Dallas we had a couple of hours for a layover so we had lunch at a TGI Fridays, fried food and cotton candy cosmo for the win, which was a good thing as they did not serve food on the 7 hour flight from Dallas to Anchorage.
We made it to the hotel, Captain Cook which was a decent hotel. We had dinner, as it as after 9. The food wasn’t very good and was not cheap either. This kind of seemed like a theme for the land tour. But you don’t go to Alaska just to eat.
The next morning I was going to do a workout in the gym, but I couldn’t find the entrance. So I walked around downtown Anchorage, unfortunately this Florida girl was only wearing leggings and a tshirt. We had breakfast at the hotel which was good. My husband had the reindeer sausage with his eggs and toast and I had chicken and waffles. We left and made our way to Mt. McKinley Lodge. The bus ride was a little over 3 hours.
We arrived at Mt. McKinley lodge. We had lunch at Base Camp, checked out our room, walked around. We eventually did the hike to the Treehouse, one of their main attractions. We saw a movie about the Northern lights in the Hudson theater and had a late dinner at the Base Camp.
