We had such a good weekend in Fairbanks. Although, I do remember now why we don't drive the 5-6 hours very often...there's really nothing there that we don't have here and nothing but trees between!!!! Dave had a blast at his shoot though and Owen and I had fun fishing and playing neon put-put. The weather was miserable, it was a weird humid cold and rained the majority of the time. But, there were a few breaks here and there, so we got to be outside enough of the time. I have tons of photos, so, be prepared! ;O)
We fished at Chena River while Dave was shooting. Owen was so serious about it and shocked we didn't get a fish! ;O) Of course, he was using his "Cars" pole with a tire for bait! It was best though as he threw the line behind him more than in front!
It rained for an hour and a half straight during Dave's shoot, so they were all pretty soaked. But, Dave was definitely the least prepared!! Even his shirt was soaked through.
We stopped at Pioneer Park (formerly Alaskaland) on Saturday night. It was drizzling and really cold, so we did everything in a hurry. But, we got to ride the train and it totally made Owen's whole weekend.
The park outside was almost just as fun too...
Isn't this fish hilarious. Owen thought this was great. When he saw the picture today, he told me it was a naughty fish...he cracks me up.
We stopped at one last rest stop on our way home and took a last few pictures. Owen did amazing on the drive back and forth. The stay in Fairbanks was pretty rough, but, he was really lacking sleep. We had to move rooms on Friday night at 10:30 because of a wedding reception that was blasting music. So, he didn't get to sleep until 11 and we had to be up around 6 the next morning to get Dave to his shoot on time.
