So. This weekend.

Saturday saw me and the boy getting up bright and early to go and have breakfast with Gramma and Papa before he, gramma and I headed off to Anchorage. Much fun was had (after much grumbling about the hour – it’s not MY fault he’d been up since 4am all too excited to sleep!) and we hit the road at about 9am, after a stop for coffee. The boy settled into the back seat with my portable dvd player, and gramma and I chit-chatted all the way up. It was a beautiful drive, clear roads, pretty skies, and two VERY excited kiddos. (…The Boy and Gramma, of course!)

Once in Anchorage, we were nice, and took the boy to Carl’s Jr. for lunch, though we kept threatening him with Chinese. hee.

He gave the burger a smile and thumbs up and agreed that waiting until the one down here opens is gonna drive him insane! Fortunately they should be opening in a couple weeks.
