7/23-24/15 IN ANCHORAGE

Valdez was a bit of a disappointment due more to the weather than anything else.  It was foggy and rainy all night and into the morning.  We didn't get to clear skies until we reached the Glen Allen Highway.  It was 296 miles from Valdez to Anchorage.  We arrived at Fred Myers in Eagle River for fuel and groceries around 1:00 PM and got to the campground about 2:30 PM.  We were still cleaning and doing wash at 5:00 PM feeling a road weary.  Pictures from today:

The Glen Allen Road that goes along the Chugach Mountains was prettier than the Richardson Highway down to Valdez.  Maybe if the weather had been better we would feel differently.

After setting up camp, doing laundry and resting up, we went to our son's home and met our Grandson Jackson Henry.  He is almost 2 months old and is beginning to smile, focus on objects, and respond to things around him.  I love holding our grandson.  

We spent the next day doing cleaning the car and RV and visiting more with Jackson Henry.  Spending time with the kids and Jackson is what we will be focusing on over the next week so there won't be any more posts until we are well on our way home.
