Sharp's Travels

Gay was up and out early. He watched the tide going out from the top of the bluff.

Many of our group had left by the time I got up at 8am. There are 9 couples that have stayed an extra day here.

We went to the post office to drop off some mail and then stopped in to eat at Victoria’s. It was a restaurant in one of the historic buildings in Old Town Kenai. They had homemade soups and desserts. We had a bowl of soup, corn bread and pasta salad.

We headed out of town to find this quilt shop out in the boonies. You go back ½ mile on a dirt road---we went right by it and on up the road. We spotted it when we turned around and came back. Two other couples from our group were already there. It was just a beautiful shop.

We continued on out the Kenai Spur Highway all the way to the end of the road. We stopped at the overlook of Cook Inlet and looked down on the beach and spotted one of our group walking along the beach. We joined them for a while and then headed back towards town. We hadn’t gone but ½ mile when we saw a moose and her two calves along side of the road, eating leaves from the trees. I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture.

Back in town we stopped at another quilt shop and I picked up material for the backing for my quilt. Now all I need is a machine!

At 6 pm we had pot luck with all the couples left in the park. They did hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and everyone brought a dish to pass. There was a nice variety of food again tonight.

Roger and Jen showed us pictures of their bear viewing trip. We are all excited now, we take the same trip on Thursday so stay tuned for BEAR PICTURES.
