July 03 This morning Randy, Branden, Breezy, and Taylor went drift fishing in Kenai. It was half day fishing for king salmon and it cost $600. They went with this company called King of the River. These people failed to tell us that king salmon wasn't happening...needless to say, nobody caught anything....not even a nibble. We were all disappointed with this company, if king salmon isn't running, why not fish for something else like trout? Randy thought at least he would have a guide to teach him and give him some tips on river fishing in Alaska. Randy didn't learn anything from this guide. So friends....remember what company
not to go with when fishing in Kenai.
After that we drove to Homer. We're staying at the Oceaview RV Park. Kind of expensive. The Good Sam rate is $95 for 2 nites. Pretty nice park with full hook ups and a really nice view. Raschad and Tracy drove over and are camping with us.We cooked out for dinner and had a nice time talking story. It got pretty cold after dinner so had to go in kind of early.

July 04 This morning Randy, Ruthy, Breezy, and Branden went halibut fishing with Ninilchik Charters. They had a 2 for 1 coupon so the total for the full day was $650 for the 4 of them. They all caught their limit, 2 fish each. It took them all day, they left at 630am and came back around 7pm. Ruthy caught the biggest fish, around 35 lbs.

While they fished the rest of us went out to check out Homer Spit. Nice town with lot's of shops and places to eat, so we parked the car and walked. We had a drink at the Salty Dawg Saloon, and lunch at the Boardwalk Fish & Chips. The food was really good, especially the chowder bowls.
Today is our 26th wedding anniversary. We had a really nice dinner, the halibut was real good. Miki bought cheesecake and some fresh flowers for us and Ruthy made a cake. Nice to have friends and family around to help us celebrate.
