Alaskan Blonde: February 2014

The Piano Guys are coming to Anchorage?! Uh yes, we are going! If you do not know who they are then PLEASE check them out! They will rock your socks! Ok - maybe not quite that extreme..but, yeah.

So if we are going to drive 350 miles to see them we may as well stay a few extra days and chill in Anchorage right? OH! And since we were so close to Seward, we may as well go spend the day there too right? You might not call it close, but living in Fairbanks - a 2 hour drive is nothing!

We left Friday Morning and headed down the road. It was a beautiful drive! Just kidding, I don't exactly remember the drive, I was viewing the inside of my eyelids most of the time :) naturally.

Arrived in Wasilla and ate Red Robin...naturally. Cause when we go to Anchorage we enjoy the food we don't have. Oh...and by the way, the WIND was WICKED! Running when you're trying to walk. It was pretty cray.

So Friday night we went to the Aces Hockey Game. That was something I was really looking forward to. Contrary to popular belief...the game was epic. A plus was that the Stanley Cup was there! If you don't know what that is......then I have no words to you. No words. So naturally....we got pics with it. It was my second time seeing it. It was in Fairbanks a few years ago. Another cool bonus was that they brought the Cup onto the ice "Alaska Style". In a DOG SLED! How cool is that?! It was pretty bomb.com. {p.s. we did get kicked out of the building, I guess they couldn't handle our awesomeness}

Saturday, the boys wanted to go to Alyeska to go Snowboarding/Skiing. The original plan was that we were going to drop them off then go back to Anchorage and do super cool stuff. Like eat :). But, seeing how doing that was going to cut us 4 hours short (1 hour drive there) we decided to rent a car! Genius idea right?! The boys dropped us off at the airport (which is like the perfect place to take pics fyi). After a few hangups - WE GOT A TRUCK! Yup, that is how we roll. It was a red dodge. Oh sad thing was that when we went into the parking garage to get it - there was a DARK GRAY FORD F-150 driving away!!!! Ugh...we barely missed it. In case you don't know..that is like the coolest beauty ever :).

*thinking what else we did*

Barrie and I did some eating and shopping and eating some more and eating. Just kidding, we aren't that big of pigs! But hey! When you got good food around you have to take advantage of it right?!

Saturday Night -- CONCERT TIME! We got there a little early, cause we can :). I really don't know how to explain it to y'all. It was just uh-mazing! They did a really good job and were really funny too! And for the record - I didn't get in trouble at all! Just Micah...for using his camera. He didn't hide it as well as me :) muhaha.

Ready for the parking garage story? Well Anchorage has a much bigger "downtown" than us...naturally. Coming out of the concert hall we went to go get our truck. Micah and I decided to...ummm...run up the ramp that cars come down. Why? I have no clue. So we could have a better chance of getting in trouble? Who knows. Barrie and Jordan went in the door (psshh...no adventure). Well, after viciously running up to the 6th level and STILL not finding our truck, we came to the conclusion that we were in the wrong garage. Who does that? Us. Fairbanks people. Now we've got to go back to the ground to meet up with the other peeps. Micah's genius idea is to take the creepy stairs. Cause riding in an elevator when you can't catch your breathe is too mainstream, I guess. After the first flight of stairs we come flying around the corner and there is this guy standing there. He steps out of the way for us to pass and then right when we pass, he starts running right after us. We weren't like taking our time running either. We were booking it down that stairway. I was pretty much freaking out with this dude at my heels! Anyway - we made it to the ground level and he ran around the building. PHEW! I thought we were gonna die! It was pretty scary...not gonna lie.

After finally finding our car after a 20 minute search, we met up with Austin and Crystal to go to Dennys! We had a very...close...enjoyable meal. ha!

By now, it was like killer late! I don't remember what time, but it was late. AND we still had the 2 hour drive to Seward! Finally arrived in Seward at about 2:30 AM. Mrs. Davis had everything lined up when we got there which was nice. They are pretty much the BEST people in the world! Not even joking.

Sunday went pretty fast. We went to church at Resurrection Bay. Cool peeps there btw. Made a quick drive to the Ocean between services :). After church, we went to lunch with the Davis' and some people from the church.

Sunday afternoon was mostly just nap time. We were exhausted. I mean, all the sleeping makes one tired right? :)

After church Sunday night we had some more church people over for pizzzzzzzzzza and Olympics :). It was a nice relaxing evening. Can't wait to go back. That city is SOO PRETTY!!

We headed back to Anchorage Monday morning. Planning on leaving early and then getting out of Anchorage early too. HA who are you kidding?! We got to Anchorage, got Qdoba and then went to CHUCKIE CHEESE! Greatest place ever for a group of young adults right?! Pretty epic things happen in that place! From roller coasters to dancing with Chuckie!

A few more stops and we were finally headed home!
