Ryan and I headed up to Anchorage this week for my Lasik surgery. We hadn't made a trip up since October and it was neat to see the change in scenery. On our drive up we had rain, then snow, then rain, and finally snow. Like I've said many times before, it was beautiful. Alaska takes our breath away every time. These pictures are taken from the Seward Highway. The picture above is of Turnagain Arm, and in late summer/early fall many belugas can be seen migrating south for the winter.
Another beautiful sight was of the frozen waterfalls we saw hanging from the rock walls on the Seward Highway.
If you listen carefully you can still hear some water trickling down. There were many frozen waterfalls and there was even an article in the Alaskan newspaper of people practicing ice climbing on these.
Our drive through Chugach took us through areas with heavy snow. Ryan felt some jealousy seeing snowmobile tracks and just imagining how fun that would be. Hopefully we'll get out there soon.
My Lasik surgery went off without a hitch. It's a weird sensation to have things done to your eyes but the outcome is so worth the 5 minutes of discomfort. My eyes feel a bit tired right now because they are healing and every couple of minutes I think to myself that I should take out my contacts. I worry that I'll try to take contacts out, which would be a huge disaster! It's definitely an exciting feeling to be able to see as soon as I open my eyes in the morning.
