Freezing Cold Alaskan Ocean

On Saturday the family and I went hiking. I have been wanting to go and see the ocean since I got here. Nate just drove and drove toward the ocean not really knowing where we were going except in the general direction of the ocean. We finally found it but, we had to hike to get down to it. It was gorgeous. We could see the ocean currents pulling the ice away from the land and out to sea. It was the perfect day for hiking too. It was a warm 25 degrees outside but that is still 40 degrees warmer then it was just 6 days before that. A view of downtown Anchorage.
