Our friend JP Franco came to visit us the first week in August! JP knows Tony from the Forge discipleship program that Tony did at Pine Cove.
JP came to visit us and we got to show him around Alaska. The best part is: I think we convinced him to move up to Alaska!! We will see.
But we did have a blast enjoying sweet Christian community with JP and some road trips :)
View from our Flattop Hike with JP
Tony and I on Flattop!
This view never gets old. And always reminds me how lucky I am to live in such a BEAUTIFUL place!
Tony, JP, and I took a road trip to Seward, Alaska. While Tony and JP went to the SeaLife Center, I spent some time reading in this super cute coffee shop, "The Sea Bean Cafe".
And we found some baby Extra Tufs at the Hardware store in Seward!
Tony's family was also in Seward camping and we spent some nights camping. And Holly and I took a ride on a killer whale!!
Beautiful Seward, Alaska. Love this little fishing town.
Some folks showing the day's catch.
Tony's Dad is on the right in the picture to show off his halibut catch.
I love the colors and nature in Alaska. The fish, the sky, the mountains, the ocean.
For our final adventure with JP, we made sure he got some Alaskan King Crab before he left.
And we took him to some awesome artsy tourist shops in downtown Anchorage.
In case you ever want to visit Alaska yourself, some shops I highly recommend for unique Alaska T- shirts and gifts are:
- Dos Manos (for T-shirts, hoodies, jewelry, gifts) https://www.facebook.com/dosmanosgallery
- Alaska Starfish Company (for T-shirts and hoodies and hats, All American Apparel and super soft!) http://www.akstarfish.com/
- Octopus Ink (Clothing) http://octopusinkclothing.bigcartel.com/
That was a tangent. But, we loved hanging out with JP! And we can't wait for him to come back and (hopefully) live here! :)
