Anchorage, Alaska has been blessed with extremely nice weather this summer. Since it's been so gorgeous outside, many Alaskans living in the Southcentral region have been trying to pack their day with fishing, camping, and swimming. Albeit, the 20+ hours of sunlight that we get in the middle of summer does not seem like enough time. No time to sleep!
If you have considered visiting or moving to Anchorage, Eagle River, Palmer, Wasilla, or Chugiak, request a Free Alaska Relocation Packet.
Today's weather: 79 degrees high, 59 degrees low, although it feels much, much hotter.
My kids complain that they are "burning up" and they're hoping for cooler weather soon. They are sooo Alaskan, huh?
My one year old, Natida, watering the thirsty weeds that are supposed to be flowers:
Yikes! You guys would melt here in Austin - it's been around 107 degrees for weeks.
Vanna: With that much sunlight... how do you guys sleep at night ? Do you have special sunblock or light-block coverings for your windows ? Or does everyone wear a blindfold when they go to sleep. Seriously...
Hi Jason, We would not survive over there!
karen,
There are black out blinds that people can buy to put on their windows but I don't find them to be very helpful. It is hard to sleep when it's so bright outside at 11 at night. I guess people get used to it. *I'm still not used to it yet. =)

Thanks Karen. I thought the comment seemed odd. I appreciate you taking your time to warn me. =)
