Herbed Cod

8/14/2016

I love to travel because I love exploring new places. There are very few places that I've visited that I wouldn't mind going back to over and over again. Homer, Alaska is one of those places.

This summer we found ourselves in the small fishing village of Homer, just south of Anchorage. It was by far the favorite town that we visited on our trip through Alaska. This quaint little village captured my heart from the moment that we arrived.

We spent a lot of our time just hanging out around the harbor and the beaches in Homer. The peaceful, calm water surrounded my the majestic mountains was inspirational.

The wildlife in Homer was amazing. Whales, eagles, puffins, otters, sea lions, moose, fish - oh my.

The boys even got to experience Alaska fishing while we were in Homer. After a day on the water, they had caught their limit in salmon, rock fish and cod.

The day that we arrived back at home from our vacation, we had 64 pounds of the frozen fish that the guys had caught in Homer, delivered to our front door. Best tasting souvenir EVER!

We've been enjoying our fish every week since our trip. This week I took out a package of cod and grilled it for dinner. Every time we eat our Alaska fish, we reminisce about out wonderful trip.
