Alaska

Well it took me awhile but here it is. Alaska is a beautiful place, I highly recommend going there. The first day there we went out halibut fishing and we all caught at least one, but dad and I both got a little sea sick and lost our breakfast. After that I decided it was better to overdose on the motion sickness pills before going out on the ocean and it made things a lot more enjoyable. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday we went fishing on the Kenai reiver which was just right outside of the cabin we were staying in. We had to get up early and then went out on a riverboat to catch salmon this was probably my favortie fish to catch. When you fish for salmon you just get your bait out in the water and then sit and relax for a while and the next thing you know your fishing pole is bent in half and you get to reel in a big fish that fights the whole way in. The other two days we were there we went to Seward and went out on the ocean to fish for salmon, ling cod, and red snapper. These days are when we saw the eagles, whenever we caught a little fish that wasn't worth keeping our guides would wave it in the air and then throw it out into the ocean and as soon as it left there hands the eagles would leave the trees and swoop down and pick it up about 20 feet from our boat. That was pretty amazing to see. It was an awesome trip and we all enjoyed it. We came home with 450 pounds of fish between the five of us. Now I just somehow need to convice Kim that she likes to eat fish.
