One massive crash later and my shoulder ached for days. Your list almost makes me want to be back in Anchorage this winter.

I have great memories of much of the list. Especially the Alaska Zoo in the winter. <br /><br />AND Fur Rondy, of course. We used to book a night at the Hilton downtown for the whole family, and go swimming (after freezing ourselves outside!) The Pioneer Pancake breakfast that weekend was always fun. Plus my husband ran the Frostbite Foot Race. AH the memories! <br /><br />Of course, my favorite time to come back to Anchorage to visit my folks is May!<br /><br />Thanks for blogging -Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274481412344071315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-19137228746412123972009-11-05T09:23:00.548-09:002009-11-05T09:23:00.548-09:00Do you ever get to Fairbanks for the World Ice Art...Do you ever get to Fairbanks for the World Ice Art Championships at the end of February? My husband has competed there the last two years in the multi-block competition, and he'll compete in 2010 in both the single and multi-block. Plus, the National Ice Carving Association (NICA) Nationals competition is in Fairbanks this year, so my husband will be there for that as well. You can find more information on the World Ice Art Championships at http://icealaska.com I went last year (my first visit to Alaska!) and really enjoyed it.Oldfangledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179843595656199586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-69651652259206871492009-11-05T08:57:10.208-09:002009-11-05T08:57:10.208-09:00Wow, what a great list of fun!
