On the way over, they stopped off at Gull Island and had a good look at the seabird colony. 
Lunch at the Saltry
Dave took this picture for me. The small cabin near the beach is where I spent my first summer in Alaska. We skiffed out to Gull Island everyday where we did our field work. These photos brought back a lot of good memories. This is where I met Yumi! She was working at the other USGS camp in Kasitsna Bay. I feel very fortunate to have spent a summer+ out there.
after lunch, they tooled around the cove
while these guys were out there, I went for a run along the Spit.7 miles and it was fantastic!
after dinner, we went for a walk along the beachsandhill cranes flew overhead
Yes, Tessa's in the water. But don't worry, Steve & Alysa! the stream was warm - water flowing from a lake
the fireweed is taller than Tessa!
We stayed in this cute 2 bedroom cottage that had a view of Bishop's beach - only 5 min walk to the beach and just down the street from Two Sisters bakery where we had breakfast. Highly recommend this place to stay: www.alaskabythesea.com
Our last morning we stopped into the Islands & Oceans Visitor Center. It's a small place but the exhibits are incredible.
