Healy!

The Weekend Get-Away for July took us to Healy this time. We headed off after work on Thursday afternoon, so didn’t arrive until late that night. It’s quite a long drive but we love the area so thought it was worth going anyway.

The place we rented this time was a Yurt! Both Bryan and I stayed in yurts in Mongolia (they call them a Ger instead of a Yurt) and loved it. The gers in Mongolia were not nearly as nice as this place was, though! It was very well laid out, with plenty of space for us to work on our projects. It had a nice little kitchen with running water, a stove, and all the gadgets you could ever need. The outhouse was set back a ways from the yurt on a nice little pathway.

Just down the road there was a lake for Bryan to go fishing. He got his pole wet a couple times, not really catching anything but still having a good time enjoying the great outdoors.

There was a ranch nearby with big work horses – really amazing animals. They had covered wagons you could ride around in if you wanted to go sight-seeing. We did not do that, but we did go visit the horses each time we went out for a walk.

The 49^th State Brewery is one of Bryan’s favorites, so of course we had to have dinner there one night. They always have good food, and he got his growler filled with his favorite so had plenty of beer throughout the weekend. I just love the wall behind the bar: those are actual trees – not a wallpaper!

The weather wall all over the map: pouring down rain one day, then clear blue skies the next. All in all, we had a great time.
