Erik's grandparents were headed into Sitka on the Ryndam today. I made sure to schedule my day off on this day so I could show them around the town and the Raptor Center. Dee was very excited to see me when she stepped off the boardwalk. After hugs she insisted Roy to take our photo together right then and there. We ventured forth to my surprise on foot past Sheldon Jackson, through the National Forest and finally up the hill the Alaska Raptor Center. I made sure to point out all the important historical landmarks, plant life and talk about random subjects regarding the town along the way. Dee was very flattering and told every lost looking tourist that we stumbled across that if they needed any help I could answer it because I work in the town.
Luck was on our side and we arrived just in time for a stage presentation. Afterwords I showed the grandparents around and talked a bit about the residence and my responsibility's at work. Roy and Dee even made the purchase of the “I am smiling” magnet and pin in the gift shop. I called a cab for the two of them after shortly after and sent Roy and Dee to the downtown area, I arrived on my bike seconds behind the cab. After walking the downtown strip we said our goodbyes and Roy slipped me some cash to by myself some clam chowder. Thanks Roy! I hope you two enjoyed the rest of your cruse.
-Dee, Me, Roy and Volta.
