Anchorage trip

Our first road trip was so much fun. Everything went good and we didn't spend as much as we thought we would which is always good :D. When we got to anchorage we found our hotel then went straight to the mall. You have to understand, the mall in Fairbanks is smaller then a grocery store. It has maybe ten stores and the only big clothing store in it is American eagle. So we all where very excited to have more choices. While we were at the mall we just went to the food court and had dinner. After that we went back to the hotel and crashed. We all had a really long day. 6:00 am rolls around and the FIRE ALARM goes off. So me and daws get up and look out the door to see if anyone else is getting up. 5 mins pass.. still no one... 10 mins pass and finally a little old couple walk out of there room and see daws and ask "Is that the fire alarm?" lol so after that we wake Dante up (who has been sleeping this whole time) and we go down to our friends room to wake them up and they didn't answer. So we go down to the lobby where everybody else is and just stand there. Finally the front desk girl says that its not a fire and the maintenance guy lives next door so he will be here in a min. We stand there for another 5 mins and then they tell us we have to go outside. We go out side and its raining so we stand there for a couple more mins waiting for our friends who finally make there way down. We decided to go wait in the car so we went and watched a movie. Another ten mins go by and the fire truck finally decided to show up. We sit there for about 20 mins and then we got to go back up to our rooms. None of us could go back to sleep so we just watched TV and got ready. We had plans to go the zoo that day but it was raining so we just went to some other stores then back to the mall. Later that day we took Dante to chucky cheese for dinner. He loved playing the games. I have to say that the shows aren't very good anymore. They didn't even have all the people. Now all it is is chucky that sings to a video. BORING lol. So after that we just went home and went straight to bed again. We woke up the next morning and started heading home. Even though the trip was just a short one, it was still really nice to get back home to our house. :D
