Our Walk through Anchorage starts with Breakfast at Snow City Cafe which is probably the number one spot to have breakfast in Alaska! I had the king crab eggs benedict and Courtney picked the french toast all before our big walk around the city.
We checked out the Margaret E. Sullivan park to "ice skate" in our boots before stopping at the Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop on our way back to the hotel. We hit up the free night on the first Friday at the Anchorage Museum to explore and save some cash before having dinner at the Tent City Tap House.
The name tent city came from how fast Anchorage grew. At one point the city was full of tents as thousands of people moved north for the gold rush!

I use the Native Lands website and App to learn the history of people native to the areas that are now national parks. This is a great place to learn more about the people of America and this history of where you live. native-land.ca/

I started my full time travel journey at the start of 2020 when I quit my job. My plan was to travel the world, but my timing was horrible. I decided to stay closer to home and explore the US. That decision promopted me to build out my Ford Transit van and travel to 50 National Parks and I'm currently working on all 50 states. My goal is to get to all 50 states within a single year! Thanks for joining me along the way!

I went to Anchorage in 2016 to get a float rating on my pilots licence at Lake Hood. had a blast ' love the "Can do" attitude of the locals. A tip. there are no Bureau de change facilities anywhere in Alaska so make sure you can finance your trip before you fly..

Alaska ???!!!! Laura, you are really on the move. Great video. Alaska is on my bucket list when hubby retires in 3 years.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

You'll love it! I'm happy we were able to go in the winter, but it makes me want to RV across the state in the summer even more!!

[@natalyafinaeva1925]

Thank you!! That peanut butter cookie 🤗

[@elflordsjourneys]

We visited the museum after a cruise and loved it.😀

[@LauraOnTheMove]

So worth it! I loved the mix of culture and modern art!

[@RoamingRuca]

Ok I think I bit off a nail or two watching y’all on that ice 🥶 Nothing like a beer or two to warm you right up (huh Courtney 😉). I’m loving following along on your adventures. Stay warm 🍻 😁

[@LauraOnTheMove]

We were holding our breath waiting to fall and kept cheering each other on every time we didn’t 😅

[@darlenecrone5585]

How much was breakfast? Be there in May.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

I think it was around $50. With coffee and breakfast for 2. I really wanted to try the crab Benedict’s but I liked the salmon better. The full experience was great and the service was friendly and welcoming for sure!

[@michellelogreco3351]

@@LauraOnTheMove do you think this is now a touristy thing?

[@LauraOnTheMove]

@@michellelogreco3351 mostly yes, but I was also there during the Iditarod so my experience might be screwed. The food and experience were both worth it though! I would recommend stopping in once while you’re there.

[@darlenecrone5585]

This is true, but such a small scale and was the only way for indigenous people to survive in the past. I always try to be respectful of native people and their lands when I travel. I love watching white tail deer, but live in an area where others celebrate hunting them for sport and sometimes food which is hard for me to watch, but does put into perspective different cultures in different regions.
