Solstice in Alaska

We saw part of the special solstice lunar eclipse last night... until some clouds rolled over it and it looked like a full one before it actually was. But still, we were there for the historic event.

And today is the solstice. Shortest day of the year. It's a good thing we got several inches of snow and the moon is so big because it's beautiful out there.

Official daylight for today: 10:14 AM - 3:42 PM.

How are we celebrating? No, we're not going into town to party with the locals all night in the 5 degree weather. We're staying in, turning on all the lights, and getting the chocolate fountain running. It'll be a great solstice, I'm sure of it.
