What is the definition of spit?
- A slender pointed rod for holding meat over a fire.
- To eject from the mouth
- To rain or snow slightly
- A small point of land usually of sand or gravel running into the water
Now can you figure out which one I mean by this title?
Read on to see if you are right.
David had to go to the Kenai Peninsula to work and I went with him, so I could visit my friend Stella. Stella and I decided to take a day trip to Homer.
We got up that morning and headed out for our 80 mile trip to Homer with a few stops for photo ops on the way down.
We stopped on top of the hill leading into Homer to take some nice scenic photos.
I also got some nice flower photos there.
We then drove on into Homer and out on the Spit. The forces of nature that built the Homer Spit might have washed it away years ago, if humans had not intervened. Winter storms roaring out of the northwest try to separate the 4.5-mile strip of sand and gravel from the mainland almost every year, but rock walls and perseverance keep it intact.

Once again I got some nice photos from the Spit.

While on the Spit you can’t leave without taking a few shots of the marina. Guess who happened to be in the marina, Time Bandit. If you are fans of the Deadliest Catch you will know what I am talking about. I myself have never watched the show. I guess because I live here.

After leaving the Spit we stopped at Grace Ridge Brewing. It is not as well known as Homer Brewery but I think they have great beers. Check it out if you are in Homer sometime.
We decided to head home but not before we had some lunch. We had seen a place on our way in we wanted to try, The Lighthouse Grill.
The food was excellent and very reasonable priced. I would highly recommend this place and plan to take David there soon.

Now that our bellies are full we can make our trip home with a few photo ops on the way.
We decided to drive down a road we had not been down before that went to the beach. Look what we found there.
Bald Eagles eating on a dead halibut.
Just a couple more photos of the view.
Stella and I had a wonderful day in Homer. It is such a cool, little town. I highly recommend visiting when you come to Alaska.
The question now is have you figured out which definition was the one I was referring to?
I hope you enjoyed our day trip.
Thanks for stopping by!
