List Status

2010 is now over, so I though we should update how we are progressing with your list. Of the original 86 items we have completed 60 items and parts of 2 others. We also added and completed 35 new items to the list.

The two items which we have attempted to complete, but have not been successful so far are viewing the northern lights and the bore tide. We hope to see the northern lights soon and also are working on possibly snow machining and ice fishing.

Of the remaining 24 items, the "best" and most unique items remaining are visiting the 3 National Parks (Katmai, Lake Clark, and Kobuk Valley) as well as visiting the Seward Peninsula in Northwest Alaska. All of those items are only accessible by boat or plane making them more expensive to visit.

Stay tuned as we continue to explore the vast and rugged state of Alaska!

Goodbye 2010, Welcome 2011!

H2Oasis

A few weekends ago (before we went home to Georgia for the holidays), we spent a Sunday afternoon at H2Oasis (#14 on our list), the indoor water park near our house. We went with another couple and we had a fun time. The entry fee was steep at $25 per person. They had 2 large water slides, a wave pool, a hot tub, a lazy river and a small ship that is meant for young children (under 10). My favorite part was the hot tub. Steven mainly liked the big water slide. It has some parts of the ride that are completely dark!

All in all, we had a good time, however, the price will prevent us from going back again. Also, we lost interest after about 2 hours. If we had young children, then they would really enjoy it!
