Mother’s Day with Mom, Peter, and Da Poochies
Posted by: Steph on May 13th, 2012
We celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday - a day early. Mom had this vision (hallucination?) of hiking the Winner Creek Trail in Girdwood and then doing dinner at our favorite Girdwoodian eatery, “Jack Sprat”. As we turned off the Seward Highway onto the Alyeska Highway, we noticed there was still snow on the ground. As we approached Alyeska, there was more and more snow. Lots of snow. By the time we arrived at the Alyeska Prince Hotel, it was clear that we would not be hiking the Winner Creek trail since we had neglected to bring snow shoes.
Instead we went for a nice long walk along the bike trail which was clear of snow. It was raining with the occasional snow spit intermixed. Definitely not the weather one expects in mid-May. But we had a delightful time. And da phoochinis loved it.
After our cold wet walk, we had a warm wonderful dinner at Jack Sprat. And yes, Carol, we had the Yam Fries, the best Yam Fries in the whole wide world!!!!
