Another Vacation post (and still loads more to come)

The day after we got back from Fairbanks/Denali we just had a easy going day.  But the following day was a busier type day.  My mo, my dad, Ella, and I went to downtown Anchorage and hit the tourist trap to go shopping. You know the place where you go to get all of the cheap souvenirs to bring home for people.  That is where we went.  After shopping for a while we decided that we needed to go and get something to eat.  We went to one of my favorite places in Anchorage.  It was the first time that I have been there and I have been back several times since.  It is called Snow City Cafe and it is a breakfast/lunch joint that is just delicious.  My mom and I shared a meal which was a turkey sandwich on a crescent with soup.  My dad and Ella shared a meal which was a BBQ Meatloaf sandwich with soup and chips.  We decided to share because the adults were going out for a fun dinner that night.  We didn't want to be too full for that. After we ate we walked around some more then went home.  

Nate got off work and we drove to Girdwood to eat at the Double Musky which is a Cajun restaurant that has one of the best steaks in the country according to food network.  I did not get the steak but everyone else did.  I got shrimp.  It was a yummy plus loads of fun to just go out with the adults.

 The following day we packed the kids up and headed to Palmer to go to the reindeer farm.  It was a fun little visit.  It is rather small and I was wondering what we were actually going to be able to do there.  The farm has a tour you go on where you get to feed the reindeer.  It takes about 15 minutes and the tour guide offers you tid bits of information about reindeer.  

We also got to see a bison and a moose.  The little kids went inside of a caged in area and held bunnies.  There was also a section where you could feed some Elk.  It was definitely worth the drive out there.  As we were driving back to Eagle River we stopped at two different antique stores.  I picked up a vintage suitcase and some decorations for the girls birthday party.  I was surprised at how much the kids really liked  going to the antique stores.  

Also on the way home we dropped off the 3 older kids at people houses to do various activities while my mom, my dad, Ella and I went to the movie.  We went and saw the new superman movie.  I enjoyed that.  The pictures are out of order but you can still see what fun was had by all.
