Fox Island

Chris and I recently got to go to Fox Island with Kenai Fjord Tours for the weekend. This is such a cool place! You catch a boat from Seward which takes you to the island for a salmon bake lunch, we splurged and paid an extra $15 for a pound of fresh King Crab. Yum! After the lunch was over the rest of the tour group gets back on the boat for a glacier cruise. We stayed on the island with 3 other couples as overnight guests. We all had our own private cabins and shared a common "meal" cabin. Chef Chris was amazing. He prepared all kinds of goodies for us.

There was no cell phone service (except for near a cave on the far side of the island), no computers, no kids, just mind settling silence. Aaaaaaah! Everyone needs to do something like this now and then. It is good for the soul to be out in God's beautiful creation and without any interuptions.
It was raining while we were there but we still enjoyed our strolls along the beach, skipping rocks, and our deep conversations with the Coke's. Yes, our good friends Sarah and Jeremy Coke came with us. They tried their best to skip out but we made them come. :)Here is Chris and Jeremy discussing the big sheep he shot this weekend.And here is Chris losing to Sarah in Poker....again.
Here is Chris skipping rocks..
Oops! I think he accidentally skipped Sarah...Sorry Jeremy!
No worries! She washed back up again. (we had a lot of free time on the island) :)

You guys are HILARIOUS!! I can't stop giggling. I'm so glad you made us come. What a great time we had. Boy, was that ever a close game of poker. Chris, you almost had me on that one hand, but I will not be defeated.

Can't wait to get together and hear all about it.
