Started the day with a run. I headed off with a plan to head off to see how far it was to the bike path we rode on Sunday. Within two blocks, however I spotted a lake with float airplanes parked in it and a path headed along side.

There were signs with little pictures of bicycles and walkers, so I could tell they intended bikes and runners to use the path. The funny thing is the path headed into the float plane airport.

I followed the signs and the pathway until I figured that I was looping the lake that the planes used for their airport. There was also a runway and such for regular planes – hence the sign…. All in all I ran just about 4 miles in sub 8:30 pace.

Then we headed downtown and checked out the Anchorage Museum…

One thing that caught my eye was the photo of a foot race held in Anchorage on the 4th of July, 1911 for women. Note the big crowds watching the race…. and the less than aerodynamic clothing that they wore…

 In addition to the historical and art exhibits. They had a kids discovery section. Well, being a big kid myself, I enjoyed lots of what the had to offer… The only thing I managed to capture in a picture or video was a big bubble making exhibit….. fun..
