This past Sunday, February the 28th, Patti and I had a grand afternoon. First we visited the Snow Sculptures on display in the Ship Creek District of Anchorage. Directly following this Post, you will see our Post dated FEB 28, 21 showing the Snow Sculptures.
Then the two of us drove over to Westchester Lagoon to see families ice skating with their children.
The below link will show you where Westchester Lagoon is located here in Anchorage.
Will all of you just look at the length of the above link !
IF you look closely at the above map, 15th Avenue and U Street front Westchester Lagoon.
Let me assure all of you : Westchester Lagoon is located in what one would classify as one of the more exclusive areas of Anchorage.

In the next two photos below, please notice in the background to the left of center a white truck.
Now you don't think for one instant that the hoi-polloi of Anchorage are going to be without their hot coffee and other treats on a nice winter afternoon of ice skating do you?Winter ice skating at Westchester Lagoon.

"Cap?" ..
"Yes 'Zilla?" ..
"Cap where is the ice hockey rink? You know, like we have down here in Ontario, California."
"Well 'Zilla! We don't have one out here at Westchester Lagoon BUT we do have a pair of goals where the kids can play a little 'shinny' ice hockey!"
Each and every single great ice hockey star began exactly like this young man! Who knows what his future may become? He kept falling and he kept struggling to get up and fall again! THAT is the spirit of the greats!
You have all seen the Coffee Truck you see again below. The ice hockey area is immediately the the left of the below photo.
To the left of the Coffee Truck in the above photo is our white truck. Again you can see this is a very nice area to live in.
Yes there were even some folks out on their skis.
"Well Patti! The time has come for us to head back home to our Condo. What a great afternoon this has been!"
We hope you all enjoyed our Sunday at Westchester Lagoon.
Cap and Patti
