Inservice wasn't held in Barrow this year; it was held in Anchorage. So we packed up the crew and headed to Anchorage for a week of learning, shopping and fun.
Good bye Barrow!
I got a window seat!
Oh Fairbanks, we have missed you!
Anchorage!
Not pretty pics due to yucky weather.
I love looking at rivers, deltas and bodies of water from above. You realize the Earth is amazing.
Anchorage Airport!
Teacher bus
I always hear Seward on those Alaska shows. Now I have a picture of something saying Seward Highway.
We stayed in the dorms. I forgot how small dorms/barracks were. A room this size was enough for 2 people in the military. I am thankful that it was only for me.
Towels and soap were provided. The blinds did not block the sunlight. I had to buy a mask to help me sleep.
Closet.
Teacher swag bag for our macs.
The fan came in handy because it was 80 degrees during our time there. I thought I was going to die. Barrow temps were in the 30s and 40s.
The view during lunch. I thought the UAA campus was beautiful. There were bear sightings the week before we arrived. I did not see any bears while we were there.
We had a double suite. His and Hers style sleeping for the week. Kids were on air mattresses with sleeping bags.
10 pm Anchorage
On our way to Prometrics for someone, not me, to take his Praxis I exam.
We stopped at Burger King for breakfast. I had a coffee and breakfast sandwich which was a terrible idea. It's been a month since I've had food like this and my stomach didn't like me for it.
A little fun reading while I waited for that person to finish his test.
This sounds crazy but I bought a fan because I can't sleep if it feels stuffy.
Its too quiet at night in Barrow. I need help going to sleep.
I saw this and screamed Haru, I miss you!
Best pizza in Anchorage.
The view in front of Walmart.
My desk after only 1 day of shopping.
There were several shopping trips planned. I went every night and bought something on my list. I had an extra day on Saturday to finish up all my orders. Fred Meyer's was awesome for bush shopping. I filled my cart and was only charged 10% of what I spent plus shipping charges. Shipping within Alaska is cheap too!
The Dimond Center has an indoor skating rink.
Lots of levels to this place.
Dimond Center had some cool exhibits.
Moose! No moose in Barrow.
musk ox is further south
Dinner!
garden by the college. There's a gorgeous stream that flows beside this. I nearly dropped my camera looking at the salmon that were spawning.
Culture Day!
Drum/Dance Group from Wainright but live in Anchorage now.
Dancing
Massive chocolate cake for dessert
Leaving Anchorage luggage - not pictured is 2 coolers!
Anchorage to Prudoe Bay pics
Almost to Prudoe

On our way to Barrow.
It was clear! I got a great picture of the city!
