Today we headed to Whittier to go sea kayaking in Prince William Sound. We got about half way there and finally got cell phone reception. There was a message from the Alaskan Sea Kayaking manager Pete that it was way to windy to go out to sea. We will try again tomorrow. Mike and I decided to spend the day packing for our backpacking trip instead. After that it was picture time. Jason (owner of Amber's prettier twin) who is a professional photographer (http://www.jasonsheaphotography.com/) suggested that we take pictures of all of our vans lined up next to each other, great idea! After a picture shoot with the Westy's, Adam had to leave to go home and tackle a nasty case of carpenter ants. Jason stayed and his wife Liz and their beautiful baby girl joined him for the night. We all got together and had a little barbeque. Mike grilled steaks on the fire, wood grilled steaks are the best. As we were eating our feast we found out Michael Jackson died! I honestly think we were the last in the country to find out. I know he got a little wierd in the end but for us Gen Xers he was like our Elvis, kinda sad. After dinner we hung out around the campfire and Jason brought out his guitar and played some songs (we really liked the love song he wrote for his wife). Later on Steve joined us and played some songs as well. It was another great night. We retired early this night, around 2am.
