Up early and on the road.
The boys have only been passengers in the motor home on one other
occasion and I thought there could possibly be a problem as to who was going to
ride shotgun. I knew it wasn’t going to
be me. Ben started out and then when
Bernie and I switched driving Jack sat up front. We stopped several times to enjoy the
incredible view of the volcanoes. After
lunch in Soldotna we headed south. Stopped
several times for photo ops of the gorgeous view of Mt. ILiamma.. Got to the Bay Crest campground and found we
had a picture perfect view of the ocean, the Homer spit and the beautiful
mountains all around us. Since Bernie
and boys needed to check in for their bear trip adventure we hit the road once
again and head to the Homer spit. We had
decided early on not to stay on the spit because of the weather. They all got checked in – passed their weight
checks and were good to go. After all
kinds of instructions on what to wear, what to eat before they go and what they
can and can’t bring on the plane, we were off to dinner. The place that the “bear lady” suggested was
packed, but since she so highly recommended it we decided to wait it out. What a horrible mistake. The food was great, when we finally got
it. We ordered an appetizer which took
20 minutes to get to the table and then we waited another 40 minutes for our
dinner. The server kept coming to the
table saying would only be a few more minutes – haha!! The owner acknowledged, without us saying
anything, that we had waited an unusually long time and sent over the dessert
tray for the boys to pick something to take with them. All in all we should have just left. The boys were angels through the whole ordeal
and we were so proud of them. Tomorrow is the bear trip. Mt. ILiamma
