Kodaik Crab Festival

We are heading to Kodiak! I have been wanting to do this trip for a long time. It was on my Alaska bucket list. I am actually crossing off things on my AK bucket list way too quick! I have been more places here than most people that have lived here their whole lives! Kodaik is pretty well known for it's heavy rain so we were expecting the worst! The morning our plane landed it was drzzling. We took a $20 cab ride to our B and B. There is a hillside area above Downtown with about 20 houses on it. Ours was at the top! The lady who owns the house is the sweetest person! She got us all settled in. We decided to head down and get some breakfast since it was only 9am. We walked down the Mcdonald's. Mmm what a treat. We don't ever eat fast food! After that we walked through the downtown area. We found a visitors center and the grocery store. There isn't much there. Oooh I almost forgot the best part. The sun came out around noon and didn't leave almost the entire weekend!

The trip was awesome except for one little flaky kayak lady. I booked a month in advance for a kayak trip to see whales. We woke up at 6 am all dressed in rain gear and headed to the stop I thought flaky lady was picking us up. We waited for 1/2 an hour and no sign of her! We trudged back up the hill and got back into bed. I was pretty bummed because this was the one thing I wanted to spend my money on while we were there! She totally flaked out!! Argh! Oh well there is always next time! We saw some fun music, ate lots of crab, and watched a cool Coast Guard demo! One day I will come back with our kids to enjoy this fun weekend again!
