We spent a chill day around town and with some long-time friends. In the morning everybody went to the Spenard Farmers Market - a great use of the large parking lot by Chilkoot's. You could tell that the vendors were a little sparse today since the Alaska State Fair was opening this weekend. It looked like the doors to 'Koot's were open so we went inside and saw that the bar was having a little celebratory anniversary brunch for The Bird House. There were few patrons inside but we were welcomed and offered a chance to help ourselves to breakfast and hang out. A table in the corner had a stack of art prints depicting the original location. It was fun to get the lay of the land without crowds.
Next it was a drive across town to the Anchorage Market in the Dimond Mall parking lot. I bought a few gifts there and then we went across Dimond Boulevard to Benji's Cafe, upon a friend's recommendation. Their pastries looked out of this world but I passed on those and instead enjoyed my very first boba tea (ooooh boy I get the hype now).
We all went to Kincaid Park to visit Lance's bench and grab some lunch at Yeti Dog. In the evening we had a wonderful visit with friends. Despite leaving kind of late (for us) at night I was still wanting to check out 'Koot's during normal hours and so Hans, Alesha, and I headed downtown for a drink and some people watching.
We meet again
As we were getting ready to leave we grabbed some of those sweet art prints - most of them were still left from that morning!
