The Wonderful Kenai Peninsula!


We were awakened by the beautiful sound of a train coming down the tract and blowing it's whistle as it came around the bend, that might not seem like much to some but in Hawaii we don't see trains so for my girls to hear the train was a special treat! We were camped approximately 20 feet from the track so my girls really experienced the full definition of a train!

Spending the night on the Turn Again Arm was such a blessing, I'm convinced, there's no other place on earth like it with it's stark mountains, waterfalls, bald eagles, beluga whales, and beautiful mud flats of Cook Inlet.




As we were leaving Turn Again Arm on our way to the Kenai Peninsula, we arrived on the mud flats just in time to attend the "Alaska Bald Eagle Convention"!


We stopped off at Portage Glacier...again...indescribable!








The many twists and turns of the highway from Portage Glacier to the Kenai Peninsula are so beautiful!






We reached our destination, the Beluga Outlook RV Park, and this is my favorite rv park thus far.
It has full hook up, free showers (No other park we've stayed at has offered free showers.) Beluga Outlook RV sits on an amazing bluff overlooking the mudflats of the mouth of the Kenai River and Cook Inlet. Across the inlet, approximately 40 miles, sits Mt. Redoubt and Mt Illiamna. 




Beluga Outlook RV also offers birds galore and a very nice pathway to Cook Inlet.







Our mornings are spent walking the mud flats, watching the Coast Guard perform touch and goes, bird watching, observing how the locals fish, and skipping rocks on Cook Inlet.









Is there any better pastime for two little daddy's girls than a rock skipping contest?





It appears not...





Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, (Proverbs 31:28, Amp)
