Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

In preparation for our big Alaska trip we have spent some time watching documentaries on Alaska. One of which is Alaska Animal Rescue, has become a family favorite. Since we were driving from Anchorage to Seward we put in a stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. It was a wet rainy day but the views were still gorgeous.

Everyone was excited to see this place we had been watching on TV all year. The center did not disappoint and we saw all of the animal stars of the show. C was thrilled as we were walking and one of the human stars, Howie, (his favorite) drove by and waved.

The experience here is great and all the animals were out and about showing off even in the rain. We saw bear, bison, moose, reindeer, porcupines, wolves, foxes, Sitka deer, owl, and a bald eagle. It was a totally fulfilling experience.

We at lunch in the car and stoped in the gift shop before heading out. To our surprise Howie was out front and C was over the moon to talk to her. She was the nicest person and had a conversation with him and let us snap a picture. I am sure she gets it a lot but she made his day and maybe even his whole trip. Yay for tv personalities who are just as kind on and off the screen.

After our celebrity run in we headed back to the car and on our way to Seward.
