Alaska Adventure: Chena Hot Springs

Jen bought me a new camera for my birthday, and because I work midshifts on my birthday she gave it to me early. I think the real reason though was the fact she wanted pictures on our trip to Chena Hot Springs.

Saturday morning we got up early and drove up the parks highway to Fairbanks and then north to the Hot Springs. We took several pictures on the way and we stopped at the Ice carvings for a few pictures. We spent several hours in the pool and finally got out just after 10pm. The temperature outside was about 5 degrees. The pool is an outside pool so you can imagine how cold the walk was from the pool to the inside dressing room. We had a blast.

On Sunday we got up and decided to take an alternate route back home. We drove down the Richardson highway to Glennallen and then cut back over to Palmer. Trip was just over 800 miles and we took just under 300 photos. I am still learning how to work the camera, but some of the photos turned out pretty good. I am throwing out a few and will put some more up later.

Take care.
