Our first stop was to the Alaska Raw Fur Company which was a combination of cool and creepy.
Emily discovered just how soft chinchilla fur is
We took Ziggy and Zeus with us for a lot of our outings and every once in a while we were nice and we let them run around. This is Ziggy.
Later in the day we went on the Riverboat Discovery
We made a stop at the late Susan Butcher's house (4-time Iditarod winner) where her widower and children still raise and race dogs--even in the summer. Here's a team of dogs pulling an engine-less 4 wheeler.
Taking a break...
We watched this plane take off and land in the water several times.
We got to stop and walk around the Chena Indian Village and learn things about the natives. Like how they dried and smoked fish both for themselves and their dogs to eat.
Emily would be sad if I didn't share a picture of this cutie with everyone
That evening we went to the Alaska Salmon Bake which has been serving up some great food for 30 years. The buffet included a really good salad bar, prime rib, grilled salmon (of course), and beer-battered cod and halibut. Also included was some fabulous company!
