Photo Essay: Birthday Dinner at Captain Patties on the Spit

All photos by Chris Palmer

Sun beams poke out from the cloud cover and shine down onto Kachemak Bay as the waves crash onto the rocky beach right outside the window of our table at Captain Patties Seafood Restaurant on the Spit in Homer, Alaska.

My mom and step-dad took my hubby and I out for all-you-can-eat prawns, and we were joined by our good friend Chris Palmer, who took these amazing photos with his awesome Canon Mark II (I suffer from camera envy).

Captain Patties

I think they can safely make this claim

This is good! Yum :)

All-you-can-eat prawns

Or you can have them grilled

That's one big prawn

Chicken Alfredo - My mom said eating this made her euphoric. It was so good she felt like she was high. That's pretty good food!

With the wooden fisherman and halibut

Thanks for a great time Mom, Fred and Chris! We’ll miss you when we leave.

What our readers have to say…

I read your blog and almost cried. I am going to start traveling this summer and recently I have had a lot of fears come up about all the 'what ifs' - money, my age, etc. I was feeling particularly vulnerable this morning when the link from your web site came across my e-mail. When I watched your video and read a few sections in your blog I am convinced that this was a sign, you are a Godsend, and I am really excited. Thank you,thank you, thank you. Keep up your amazing work and life.
The desire of my heart is to be doing what you are doing. So I guess you could say I am living vicariously through you.
I love your appreciation and genuine interest in other cultures. I am always looking forward to reading your next post.
[I read] because you're an EXPERT in the area I'm most interested in. Living the dream.
I read to see it is possible. However, my husband is still convinced we can't do it, that you must be special... So I continue to read and follow, hoping for something to click for our family to also travel the world.
I enjoy reading your blog because you share the spirit of adventure that not too many people are brave enough to follow... I like to see how resilient you and your family are during the lows that would send most people packing home. My family and I get out a lot and explore but like to live vicariously through your experiences. Thanks and we will keep following along.
