Welcome Wagon in Anchorage...


 We stayed in Anchorage August 1-5 shopping, shipping, and making new friends.
We stayed in the dorms at University of Alaska - Anchorage





Derek and I shopping at the surplus store. Derek bought the pants he is wearing...I did not. Derek says they are fighter pilot pants.
This is Brittany. She is one of our new friends! from Minnesota!!


Derek is ready for Gambell!

Fellow Bering Straight School District new hires at Welcome Wagon

Moose spotted!!!
We saw the massive 12' mother and her two babies on the side of the road!
So cute!

We spent two days shopping for food (a Fred Meyer Bush order) and clothes (REI, surplus stores, and Derek's aunt and uncle, who have a cabin outside of Anchorage, gave us lots of warm clothing! Thank you Cathy and Pat!) We ate out for every meal:/ Denny's way too often, we were excited to get going on the next part of our adventure. We were off to Gambell to spend 5 days there, then fly to Unalakleet for a training August 10-12, where we would meet all the new hires!
