Spring Break 2009

The weather in Anchorage the last couple of days has been wonderful. On Thursday, Mary went with me to the archery range. She agreed to step up to the plate and give it a try...sounded like a better idea than it turned out to be - my bow is left handed (and too small) for her. On her first arrow the back string (which has a 32lb draw) slapped her elbow on the way forward - I have never seen a bruise like the one she has on her elbow. She says it doesn't really hurt but it sure looks like it should.

Yesterday we went for an easy cross country ski - easy because we were going snowboarding today. The easy ski turned into 2 hours - but the day was beautiful, warm (26 degrees) and clear. The trail took us along the Cook Inlet and views of the mountains across the Inlet were unreal.

Today - snowboarding at Alyeska (nice day - warm 25 degrees). A two hour lesson (private as we were the only two adults there this morning for lessons - YEA) - we did pretty good - I trust that I will get better with time and practice. (and a few more falls)
