We arrived in Homer late morning to a beautiful sunny day although super windy along the shore. I had booked a spot at the Homer Spit campground and we had a beach front spot. To be honest, not my favorite campground. Super crowded and no privacy. (Actually, all of Homer was super crowded and I was shocked considering travel is more restricted due to covid). However, showers and bathrooms were super clean.We brought the boys’ bikes with us so they were obsessed with riding their bikes throughout the campground.
We drove to the quaint little historic downtown and had delicious (gluten free!) crepes at the Wild Honey Bistro. Brady looooves rhubarb so we ordered a sweet rhubarb crepe which he devoured and left only a few bites for the rest of us. We also visited Bishop’s Beach which had lots of neat rocks including volcanic rock.
Mid day all four of us enjoyed a glorious and much needed 2.5 hour nap in the camper. Did I mention glorious?! For dinner we ate at Fat Olive’s. Highly recommend. Delicious. And covid-responsible. Brady devoured half a pizza in approximately 10 minutes. AJ is possibly one of the slowest eaters on the planet but he chowed down a ridiculous amount of food as well. Beau keeps telling me just wait until they’re teenagers…
We ended the night doing a beautiful hike in the Eveline State Recreation Site. Highly recommend if you are looking for something off the beaten path/ kid friendly/ dog friendly/ peaceful. The fireweed is just starting to bloom in AK right now and the meadows in this park were dotted with bright pink fireweed flowers.
