Blast off!

Kelly and I found Jupiter yesterday! We were out for an ordinary walk along the Tony Knowles Costal Trail and as we rounded a corner, we came face to face with the gas giant. We noticed that Jupiter seemed a bit small. After closer inspection we realized we were following the Anchorage Lightspeed Planet Walk. Starting at the Sun in downtown Anchorage it is a 5.5hr walk to Pluto. From the start, it takes as much time to get to each planet as the light from the Sun does. One of these days we'll start at the Sun and begin our journey through the solar system. We might bring out bikes to up the speed to warp 5.
