Hill Family Adventures:
So it was official my husband actually made it an entire 365 days with me. It was our one year anniversery on June 30th and I had to work... Bummer. My husband had the day off and he was adorable, I recieved a beautiful bouqet of flowers at work and all my coworkers were jealous (they asked if Chad would give training lessons to their spouses). We celebrated that weekend by going down to Seward for the 4th of July weekend, I wanted to go Halibut fishing and Chad had booked us a charter. we got up super early in the morning Chad having packed the suberau the night before with pepsi and PB M&Ms and started to drive south. Sweet! we were packed and we hit the road, on the way down we stopped on a car lot to look cars (it was chad's anniversery too after all) and then our next stop was the ocean just outside of Anchorage. What a beautiful site to see...
We even found a few small fish tails I could snack on....

We even found a few small fish tails I could snack on....after that our next stop was to check out some of the wildlife.... think we got close enough to these guys?
....ps we could smell their breath ...kinda stinks!
when we left chad and I were planning on enjoying our time in Seward sleeping in the car and adventuring during the day, lucky for us when we checked in at the military resort they had a Yurt available for us. once we dropped our gear off we explored the town and even tried some ocean salmon fishing. *note about this* I only brought flip flops so I recieved a piggy back out to the ocean to try our hand at fishing... no luck unfortunately. the next day was also an early rise as we hurried up only to be the last ones heading out on a boat, Chad and I both caught our limit on Halibut (2 small ones each- I was the last person to catch a fish and unfortunately no one got anything big). After that we tried our hand at salmon fishing where together we caught 4 silvers :D what a fun day! after we got back it was time to clean and freeze our catch... not much fun but I sure got my hands dirty!
and then I washed my hands about a billion and one times :)Next day was a trip down to Homer just to see what was there, we enjoyed fabulous weather and even checked out some places as possible vacation homes (you know if we suddenly inherit a million dollars :D). back to Seward to enjoy fireworks in the bay!
On the way home the next day I was a silly girl and allowed my husband to stop at the car lot again.... so when we left (3 1/2 hours later...) we were in a different car. check out our new fuel efficient diesel car....
we made it back to North Pole and still had 1/2 a tank! awesome (we are getting 40mpg!)
