Rhymes with steward, sounds like sewer.

It is midnight and we are waiting for the sun to go down so we can sleep. Trippy, right? Today we went to a wild animal preserve and saw a ton of big dudes. Leigha fed an elk, that was pretty cool. We jumped back on the highway and kept heading south on Alaska state highway 1. Jason said, "Highway one?" Bob replied, "Well, sure, Jason........we only have five highways!" We took so many pictures, it was insane. Every inch of this state was made for beauty. You know how sometimes you have expectations about a place based on pictures, then you go and it's totally different? Alaska is exactly what you think, and THEN some. Oh, it's literally breathtaking. It makes my heart beat just a little bit faster! We went to the small town of Seward, Alaska and caught a couple slimy scaly things. I took a picture. Then we went to an aquarium and made friends with an otter named Skittles. (Awwwww!) I want one. And a moose. They are cute. We had dinner at a great seafood place right on the shore by the dock where all the sailboats were kept. It was neat to see the boats coming in and people bringing the day's catch in in a wheelbarrow. On the way back to Anchorage we stopped to hike up to a glacier. Oh, btw, Alaska totally has mosquitos. And how.
