Cooper Landing


We took a quick, but relaxing trip to the beautiful Cooper Landing this past weekend. Cooper Landing is a couple of hours from Homer, right on the Kenai River, and it is gorgeous. Patrick was first introduced to Alaska in Cooper Landing a number of years ago when he and his dad went on a fishing trip there. We celebrated our two year anniversary, and just took a break from our busy lives in Homer. We had gorgeous weather and even did some fishing 
Stopping at our favorite market in Soldotna to pick up some ingredients for the weekend.

Our cozy riverfront cabin.

A warm and sunny weekend.


The cabin had a great porch with a view of the river and mountains.

I LOVE Patrick's little cases and organizers for his fishing gear.

Some yummy cheese and a tasty beer that our friend sent us from Maine.

My romantic gift to Patrick: A 200 lumen headlamp with a AA battery pack.

Patrick's romantic gift to me: Donkey Kong Country for Wii-so fun!

We continued our road trip/camping tradition of playing tick (a game I learned from my grandmother) and Patrick continued his tradition of losing.

View from the patio of Patrick fishing.

Mexican for dinner!

Mango Mimosas!


Celebrating a truly wonderful 2 years.

Fishing for dollies.





We missed Gussy and returned home to him and LOTS of fresh snow!
