It was 50° this morning when we got up and still raining. We decided to drove into Seward to look for a place to get breakfast. We passed by the Seward Chamber of Commerce and saw this mural of the Kenai Fjords.

We saw Alaska Nellie's Roadhouse on 4th Avenue and decided to eat there. I ordered the Captain's S.O.S (biscuit & gravy with an egg, and bacon) and Mike had been craving pancakes so he ordered the tall stack and we both had coffee. The total for our breakfast came to $24.61.

After breakfast we drove around Seward just to get familiar with the town and then we drove back to the campground.

We spent the day inside since it rained most of today. I worked on getting our blog and photo albums caught up and put 6 days' worth of posts and photos on today.

The weather finally started to clear up some late this afternoon and the rain finally stopped. After dinner we took Tinker and went for a walk around the campground and resort.

Across the street from the resort we saw these 2 plaques. One was for Fort Raymond that protected the railway and harbor during World War II.

The second plaque was for the Seward Sanatorium (1946-1958) that cared for natives who had tuberculosis.

We next walked around the grounds of the Resort and walked past the yurts which can be rented

and one of the Fish Houses where guests can clean the fish they've caught here.

Mike went inside Seabolt Hall and took photos while I waited outside with Tinker.

It's not supposed to rain tomorrow, so we should be able to do some sightseeing. We didn't see much change in our temperatures today - the highest it got today was 54°.
