While we are in Anchorage, Alaska I thought we would stay at the wonderful Sheraton Anchorage Hotel and Spa. This is a great hotel that is located in downtown Anchorage and only 12 miles from the airport. I have booked two separate rooms for six nights. The total for this reservation is estimated at $1,411.20. We will be arriving September 21st and departing again on September 27th. The link that I booked our hotel on is http://www.sheraton.com/anchorage.

Recreational Sport/Activity
For our activity I though that we could go whale watching! The boat we will be boarding is called Lu-Lu Belle, also known as "limousine of the sea". On is boat we will see whales such as Humpback, Killer and Gray whales! We would also see sea lions, otters and seals! We would set sail from Valdez, Alaska and sail into Prince William Sound. We would also see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world! This trip would costs us $105 per person, $630 total. http://www.lulubelletours.com/book/index.asp
For our sport, I thought paintball would be fun! We would go to 907 paintball in south Anchorage. It is $10 for all day pass, $10 all day compressed air, $60 for 2000 paintballs. Which equal up to $480. This would be such a fun time!

Matt - Natural Site
We took a day trip to Denali National Park to see if we could get a glimpse of Mt. McKinley. We rode on a bus service called the Alaska Park Connection and the cost was $80.00 per person. This all day trip, had us leaving at 7:00 am and returning to Anchorage at 9:30 pm. This road trip took us on the spectacular Seward highway which is Alaska's only scenic Byway. I don’t think I ever took any more beautiful pictures from the side of the highway. We went through the small fishing town of Seward, across two scenic mountain passes into Denali National Park. What an exhausting day, but thankfully we got to see Mt. McKinley.

Built monument or Attraction.
For our historic monument this week we decided to visit the statehood monument of Alaska. This is a large Bronze statue of President Eisenhower that was erected in 1990. The monument was raised to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first official settlement in the area, which was established in 1915, Tent City. The Statue was beautiful to look at, and also offered a view of the history of Alaska, which was not well known to most of us, so it was also very informative. This is not only free, but Is also within walking distance of our hotel! We also met an elderly gentleman that was looking at the statue who told us about the bitterly cold winters and how much he loved the Summer in Anchorage. The monument was absolutely beautiful, and we all really enjoyed looking at it, and learning more about the history of Anchorage!

I looked at the Anchorage Museum website and it seemed like a great place to go visit. They also have a planetarium in the museum. However for general admission it costs $12 per person per adult, and $9 per student. I figured for the 6 of us at general admission it would end up being $54 dollars.
