Great day in Sitka

Today we woke up in our hotel and got ready for the day. We all got dressed and went into the car to go get breakfast. We drove to a small part of town to get close to the air port for our desired breakfast at The Nugget. We drove for a while looking for our restaurant when we found our expected eat in the building in the air port. We got a table and then soon enough we had our food. I enjoyed a mix of  egg, toast, hash browns, and bacon. We finished up quick and we headed to the ocean to look for creatures at low tide. We found crabs, eels, starfish, and slugs. We had lots of fun and then when we were finished we went into the historic museum of totem pole history. There we watched a short film and then we walked around watching artists create lots of cultural pieces. We found one room where we could make free bracelets out of a band of scratch art space. I made a designed bracelet with my name in the middle. When we finished we finished our walk and then we went outside to go on a small hike through the woods.

We went on our hike and we enjoyed looking at lots of views and we liked the exercise as well. We finished so we drove Addie back to the hotel so she could rest while the rest of us got ice cream at Harry's soda fountain. It was a small counter in a pharmacy that had shakes and cones. When we were all served we went to castle hill where we learned some history. When we finished our ice cream we went down to Saint Michael's Cathedral to see other historic usages of religious mementos. After we went to the church we drove down to the Russian Bishop's house where we took a tour. We saw the upstairs quarters and we were very interested by the facts and history that we learned. We finished the tour so we looked at the rest of the house and were on our way soon after that. We went to dinner at the Sitka Hotel where we had reservations for a 6:00 dinner. We went to the movie theater because we had a plan to watch a movie. However we got popcorn and we went back to the hotel to watch The Proposal. We enjoyed the movie and then we winded down for bed.

For now, Magnolia
