Aunt Ethel came to pick us up at the hotel at 10am so we had time to eat our breakfast at the hotel. We were told when we checked in that we would have a full breakfast in the morning, but it turned out it was a continential breakfast and the full breakfast buffet would cost 11.95 so we obviously ate the continential,lol. When Aunt Ethel picked us up she told is she would be working all day down at ICE so she would give us the car and we could go explore Fairbanks. We dropped her off and picked up a map and headed downtown which only consisted of about 7 blocks. We hit the visitor's center and picked up some information and then walked around. It was a gorgeous day with nary a cloud in the sky which was quite opposite of the days forcast. We found a sporting goods store which we bought some rain gear for the boat and backpacking food for our trip to Denali National Park which we thought we would be doing at the end of the fishing trip. Aunt Ethel called and said she would be finished by 130pm and we could pick her up and she would show us around for a couple of hours. We walked back to the car after stopping and getting maps from LAND and there was a ticket on the windshield. Renae and I were feeling horrible until I read the ticket and it said someone had ripped her year sticker off the license plate. Whew what a relief that only 2 hours with Aunt Ethel Faye's car and we had gotten a ticket. Note: the flowers in Fairbanks were different and very pretty. We picked up Ethel and went to the University of Alaska Fairbanks large animal research facility. They had musk ox and caribeau and both had young which were so cute. We ended up at Aunt Ethel's house around 10pm and fell right to sleep after Aunt Ethel said it would be better if we went to Denali before our fishing trip so while Ethel was back at ICE we bought our train ticket to Denali from Fairbanks.
