June 2011 Happenings

The parents came to visit. We didn't do much, but did have a good time together. The big adventure was a day trip into Anchorage. Here are a few photos during our time together:

Beecher's cheese
There's a company out of Seattle, WA that's named Beecher's. They sell artisanal cheese and crackers.

A must: brunch at Snow City Cafe. 
Somehow my parents had not been to Snow City Cafe yet, even though they've visited a number of times. I think they enjoyed it as much as we do. Yum!

The "Habitat" art installation.
A locally controversial, but interesting piece of art. 

We spent the afternoon here.
It's hard to believe but this was my first trip to the Museum. I particularly enjoyed the Smithsonian Arctic Research Center exhibit. We also spent a lot of time in the Imaginarium Discovery Center playing with the hands-on science experiments. 

First oriental poppy bloom of the summer. 
It seems that the flowers are blooming later this year than usual. I have two buds on my peony plant, but  I've heard unless ants crawl on the buds and do their "thing" (whatever that is) they won't bloom.
