ALOHA EVERYONE!!!
AFTER A PRETTY GOOD WEEK OF WORK AND RUNNING, I WAS DUE FOR A SHORT VACATION IN ANCHORAGE... AGAIN!!!
THIS TIME I WENT IN FOR SUMMER SHOPPING AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY SISTER DENISE, DOUG, AND MOM VANG!!!
AS SOON AS I GOT OFF THE JET IN ANCHORAGE, I KNOCKED MY SUMMER SHOPPING RIGHT AWAY AND THEN HEADED TO EAT VIETNAMESE FOOD, I FORGOT THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT BUT IT WAS GOOD!!!
MY HIGHLIGHT WAS THE "AVOCADO SHAKE" WHICH IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! THE REST OF THE MEALS WERE JUST AS YUMMY!!!
AFTER LUNCH WE HEADED BACK TO THE HOUSE AND I WAS TIRED AS HECK AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO BED TO TAKE A NAP.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I WOKE UP FOR DINNER WAS THIS IS WHAT WAS SERVED...
THIS WAS A 12 COURSE DINNER!!!
GRILLED SCALLOPS, SHRIMPS, & LOBSTERS, GRILLED PINEAPPLES & VEGETABLE KABOBS, GRILLED ASPARAGUS, RICE PILAF, TOSSED GREENS, FRESH CORN ON A COB, AND CHEESECAKE WITH STRAWBERRY COMPOTE AND MIXED BERRIES!!!
WOW... I WAS IN FOR A SUPER TREAT, AND I LOVE MY SISTER FOR THROWING SUCH AMAZING DINNERS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILIES!!!
THANK YOU DENISE AND DOUG FOR THE AMAZING DINNER!!!
AS YOU KNOW RIGHT AFTER DINNER I WAS READY TO SLEEP AGAIN AND END MY EVENING EARLY BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO CATCH THE LATE MORNING FLIGHT BACK TO BETHEL!!!
