Alaska Trip: July 5th

Monday was a busy day. Here's what we did:

• Checked out The Great Alaskan Bowl Company
• Walked around the University of Alaska-Fairbanks where Nick goes to school
• We went to the University of Alaska Museum which had a lot of cool exhibits about the history and wildlife of the area.
• After that we drove out to the nearby Knotty Shop in the town of Salcha
• Then it was off to Santa's house in North Pole.

Here are the pics...

Bowl makers

Some of the hundreds (thousands?) of bowls on display.

These guys were hanging out at the Large Animal Research Center at the University

Nick, there's something behind you...

A couple of Santa's reindeer

Our next little bit of trivia: Reindeer are actually domesticated caribou.
