Breakfast at the Talkeetna Roadhouse is a must do. The portions are huge. You eat family style at long tables. It was fun to chat up other travelers from around the world. The food was okay. I think that a place known for the quantity over the quality of the food is a good indication of what you're going to get.
We hit the road Anchorage. Our destination in Anchorage with the International House of Hot Dogs. This was on Glenn must do list. It turns out the International House of Hot Dogs is a trailer in an auto parts store parking lot. It was the friendliest service we have ever had. And the hot dogs were delicious. We both had reindeer polish sausages with different toppings. Glenn's had pineapple, sauteed onions, salsa, mayo, and jalapenos. My reindeer polish had onions and a chipotle cream sauce. We also tried the smoked salmon quesadillas. All the food was very good.
We headed down Seward Highway to Girdwood. The views are fantastic. We arrived at Hotel Alyeska on the side of a mountain. We checked in and then headed out for a on Winner Creek Trail. A five mile hike. Which may have been a little more than my couch potato legs were ready for. We hiked to a gorgeous creek and the only way to get across it is on a hand pulled tram. We didn't take the tram because the line was long but it was really cool to see.
For dinner we headed up a motorized tram to the top of the mountain to eat at 7 glaciers restaurant. We got a seat at the bar with an amazing view and had a fantastic meal. The highlights of the meal were the scallop bisque, the kale salad, halibut ceviche, and the chocolate tart. The bartenders were really friendly and made some good drinks. One of our favorite drinks was the rhubarb cosmopolitan made with Alaskan rhubarb vodka. It was a really really fun night with a gorgeous view.
