Alaska trip

Highlight of this summer is our Alaska trip, we got picked up by Akargi around midnight, resting and grocery shopping with Crystal and Brittney. next day, our family Drove to Homer, we stayed in a very tiny hotel name" drifted inn", its the tiniest hotel I had ever stayed, but its very close to the charter boat. we got up at 5:30 in the morning to put on our gears and eat breakfast. it was an exciting, exhausting, most memorable experience for me. I caught 2 halibut, 2 cods, 2 rock fish with Jet's help and my dizzy head because I was seasick, Tess caught 3, Jet caught four, Mason 3 or 4 fishes, so we got total weight of our fish more than 60 pounds! Not including the head and tails because the helpers on the boat filet the fish for us before return! it was a long day ocean fishing, it felt so nice for me to finally stand on the solid ground, this would be my only time in this fishing boat.
next day was the day to Seward to meat Akargi's and Rolf's family to do salmon fishing, we supposed to catch a lot of salmon when they do the salmon run, unfortunately our 17 people whole crew only caught 3, the guides we hired felt bad for us and gave us a box of salmon.
we went to Glacier cruise for one day, we went to a big lake kayaking (omit the long story about the 2 boys missing for 4 hours), we also went for a beautiful hike by the ocean, we went to native heritage center...such a memorable trip
