Dad flew in early this AM. Unfortunately we were working tonight. I originally thought that his flight was early Sunday morning, to the point where we drove in to the airport, texted my dad to let him know we were waiting for him, then received a text back that we woke him up and his flight was today while we're at work.
He landed around 1:00AM, we told him to grab a taxi and ask to go to the Providence ER. Apparently he got a new cab driver because the driver didn't know where the Providence ER was. Instead he took dad to the Alaska Regional ER, then a round-about way to get to Prov. He showed up around 2:00AM looking exhausted and the poor guy had to drive our car in the dark to our house, which he's never been to. Luckily he made it and we got a text that he was safe home with Barley.
He woke up for a little bit when we first got home but went back to bed as we crawled into bed ourselves. I woke up in the afternoon to find dad playing video games. He doesn't have very good internet so his vacations are also video game playing vacations. We sent Mat off to work and then headed into town to get some sushi at Shine's. Mat wasn't too thrilled about missing out on sushi but he lucked out because Shine's is apparently closed on Mondays! No worries, we headed over to Mike's Meats and grabbed some steaks to BBQ before heading home. After grilling and eating some steak, we headed down to the Eagle River Nature Center to walk around and see the scenery. We made it home before it got too dark and dad went to bed.
