Today we spent resting, then went for the two tires for the pickup. When I got to the tire shop, they took my pickup into the bay and started to put the new tires on, but the attendant couldn't figure out which tires I was wanting to replace, because they were all barely legal. So--I bit the bullet and had all of them replaced. Hey, I've got years and years to pay them off.
Later, that afternoon, we drove down to Anchorage to have dinner with my cousin Tasa and her husband Artie, and when we got there, my sister Melanie and her husband Ken were there, too. They've been here all week, enjoying their first trip to Alaska, and are here for Catherine's wedding, too. It was a fun evening and we really enjoyed our time with them. About 9:30, we needed to return to Wasilla to prepare for the trip to Denali tomorrow. It's really weird that the sun is still way up in the sky at 10:00 at night. It's been hard to get to sleep at night because the sun is still up. Sunset is around midnight and the sun comes back up before 4:00 a.m. Short "nights." The folks here love it, because they've endured a winter with the opposite characteristics, but it's disturbing my sleep.
