I pronounce that Rocker Mom

One of Merriam-Websters definitions of rocker is 
: in a state of extreme confusion or insanity <went off her rocker, and had to be put away.> 
I think that about covers it!

I am a stay at home/ work at home/ homeschool mom. And this is my life!

We had an great day today! This morning we went to the fall festival and the kids got their faces painted. We looked into some things for the kids to get involved in, like soccer and ballet. Then, we drove south through Chugach State Park to Whittier. What a beautiful drive! Beautiful mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls along the Cook Inlet.

To get into the town of Whittier you have to drive through the mountain by way of a 2 mile tunnel! The town of Whittier is a port town. A lot of the cruise ships come in there and then people take the train through the tunnel for excursions. The waterfalls and views of Prince William Sound are incredible! We walked a few small trails to see the river and waterfalls, and then drove to the bay before heading back through the tunnel.

On the drive back we stopped off at a scenic overlook, and ended up taking a trail about 2 miles into the forest. It was so amazing. There were little streams full of salmon swimming upstream, gorgeous waterfalls, a giant glacier, and just all around beautiful views. There were so many different kids of mushrooms, Berries, moss, and plants. So I took pictures of everything, of course!

For dinner, we stopped at the Turnagain Arm Pit BBQ. (It is on the section of the Cool inlet called the Turnagain Arm). It was delicious, and they had sweet tea!!! It was waaaay sweet, but they did their best. I had a chopped brisket sandwich, and Milo has the barnyard special with chicken, beef sausage, and ribs. Yumm!

Found this sign in the bathroom. LOL

Even the drive home from Anchorage to Wasilla is gorgeous. That is one if the reasons Milo wanted to live out here. His commute will is beautiful!
