Today we didn't make it to Eagle River (too rainy) but we did go to the governors picnic. Tomorrow Sarah Palin resigns her office as governor, so she was there to say hi and bid farewell.

Sorta ironic, peace supporters were across the street from the governors picnic. The police seemed to have a problem with them being there.


It's out of focus, but this is what i waited 2 hours in line for. It was kinda a sloppy-joe plus hamburger.
There were a TON of veterans at the function.



There was a fun thing for the kids (and us)- dig out the chocolate chips like you're mining- but beware of the forest and the river. if you get any snow, choc chips (gold) or anything in the river or forest, you lose some gold.


The lady of the whole picnic- her last full day as governor.




Helicopter taking off- it was super windy!


The not-so-secret secret service.
