I forgot to add this to the list of good things to do in Seldovia:
There are many things to do in a place like Seldovia, including (but not limited to)...
We took our first boat ride to Seldovia to visit Jens’ parents in their cabin on the water. Koren was NOT. A. FAN. of the boat ride. He spent the entire time with his eyes closed and his face buried in Jens’ neck.
Once we arrived, however, the kids were both thrilled to see their grandparents and to discover the new and exciting things to explore in Seldovia.
When we relocated to Homer, Alaska, we moved to one of the most remote places in the country. Seldovia is even more remote. The only way to get there is by boat or plane, and the whole city has a population of about 200 people. When you’re in Seldovia, everything you do (or don’t do) is dependent upon the tide. If you need to go to the store, but the tide is so low that your boat is high and dry on the beach… well, you’re out of luck. But you might as well take the opportunity to go clamming while you’re waiting!
The kids think Seldovia is one of the best places on earth. They might just be right. I can’t think of a more perfect place for relaxing, exploring, playing, and observing wildlife… at least until the enormous mosquitoes come out and carry you away. Fortunately, we haven’t seen many yet.
