Our Miracle Trip to Our New Home

You may ask why did she call it the miracle trip. As I said before we were not able to get a rental van and all we had was the Camry which is a five seater and we had tons of luggage. When we went to bed the night before we still didn't know how we and all our stuff was going to get in the car. There was the option of me taking a hopper plane from Anchorage to Kenai and meeting the family at the airport. But that plan got eliminated when we found out there was only two flights that day 6 and 8 am and I was already wasted from yesterday that I didn't want to get up at 4 to get to the airport to buy a ticket and stuff. Kyle went down to the car and started trying to get the luggage in like a puzzle. It was miracle: he made everything fit in the trunk.We checked out of the room and made one last bathroom run and then squeezed everyone into the car for the drive to Soldotna. The drive from Anchorage to Soldotna is regularly two in half hour drive, but Kyle was being extra cautious, it had just snowed the were slick and we had regular tires.

This the view of the Cook Turnagain Arm, it is a body of water. But in this picture it has huge chunks of ice all in the water. I bet now it is probably covered completely in ice. 75% of the drive is driven right along the edge of water.

This is the best picture I could get of all of squished in the car. 

Tight as a bug in a rug.

The mountains looked so beautiful that were all around us.

 We are at sea level, they looked so tall to us. 

Here is the sign that Welcome us to Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. 

The little inlet we live on.

This is what the roads looked like what we drove on all the way home.

We finally made it home.

Here we are on our front porch of our home.

As we tried to unpack the car, Kyle had done so well that we couldn't get anything out of the trunk. In order to get it out we rip one box open and inside the trunk and took the contents out of the box and then we were able to the rest of the stuff out with no problems.
