Ice Museum

Trying out the "Ice Potty" in the Ice Museum.

Sitting at the Ice bar waiting for our World Famous Appletini drinks served in ice martini glasses (OK, just kidding - we didn't order those!).

Today, we went to the Chena Hot Springs Resort, about 90 minutes from Fairbanks (much shorter in summer we are sure without the icy roads). We visited the ice museum, which had some fabulous ice sculptures. We even tried out the ice beds in the ice hotel - doesn't sound like a good hotel to us! Then, we went swimming in the heated pool from the hot springs. The boys LOVED that. We couldn't swim in the outdoor natural springs as children are not allowed since they aren't clorinated. But, the indoor pool was tons of fun, and super warm, around 94 degrees. We had a good day.
