My best friend left last night after being here for a week. Monkey and I were sad to see her go. It was so nice having a familiar face to hang out with and to help out! We packed a lot into a week. She wanted to experience Alaska, and so I tried to help her do that. We went to Santa’s House twice, saw the Aurora Borealis, which was absolutely beautiful and if I’d had a really fabulous camera I might have been able to get a picture, but my point and shoot just wouldn’t do it. We walked across the frozen Chena River, saw a dog sled race, and went to the ice park. The only thing we didn’t get to do was snow tubing, but Kendal got sick with a stomach virus and I didn’t want to leave her with anyone since she was puking her guts up and super fussy! We took lots of pictures and she bought lots of stuff to take back home! Oh, and she wanted to see wildlife and had almost given up hope, but yesterday on our way to North Pole, we saw a moose! It was a female moose, so no antlers, but a moose! I am so glad that she got to come!
Me, Kendal, and my best friend Melody

How nice that you got a whole week with your best friend! I haven’t had that kind of time with a girlfriend since I was in school. Sounds like you really showed her a good time.
