Jack's friends in Anchorage invited us all for salmon dinner. Melody and Denny fixed salmon 3 different ways. We had cucumber salad, fruit salad, bread dipped in oils, and homemade apple/blackberry pie. 
We visited the official "ULU" (pronounced ooo-loo) factory in Anchorage. Ulu knives are a wonderful culinary tool. I already have one and use it almost daily.
One day we went to Lake Hood seaplane base. There were seaplanes everywhere. We saw many take off and land while we were there. It was a very active place.
This pretty blue plane was getting ready to take off while the other one was taxiing in.
We couldn't believe what we were seeing when this half a truck went by us. He has a special front hitched trailer to assist planes out of the water. It really looked funny.
We found ourselves sharing the runway with this plane. We decided to get out of his way.
Today, we attended the Anchorage Market Festival. They are also celebrating Summer Solstice, which is the longest day of the year. There were lots of booths with crafts and stuff for sale. Music and entertainment too.
We sat down at the food court. Sue bought a delicious fried bread filled with hamburger and cheese. Bob and I had coffee, but Sue shared her treat.
Right downtown was the Information Center. The flowers were so beautiful.
Bob is standing beside and old Thunderbird on display at the antique auto show in downtown Anchorage.
This hanging flower basket was so big and beautiful. Their colors are deep purple and yellow. Most of the hanging baskets were that color scheme.
All up and down the streets of Anchorage were hanging baskets. Very beautiful downtown.
