I love the drive up to Anchorage and back. The mountains are absolutely gorgeous, and as long as the weather and traffic are cooperating, the drive actually relaxes me. Today was no exception. Actually, because we headed back home a bit sooner than expected, the drive was even more enjoyable as I was not driving in the dark.
I also envy the people who live in Anchorage and their proximity to the mountains. I was in awe of the view from a spot as mundane as the JC Penny parking garage. I hope that the those who live there do not take their surroundings for granted.
That said, I'm also glad I don't live there. Anchorage is a city with too many people living too close together for my comfort. As much as I enjoy my trips up to Anchorage and back, driving in Anchorage reminds me too much of traffic I left behind in the Lower 48.
Still, it's nice to stop by every once and a while, even if it is just for a Costco run and to pick up a suit for Rowen's upcoming First Eucharist.
