Pagoda House, North Pole, AK

sweet 'n sour chicken
Yum!

I had earned a free night stay at the hotel chain we usually use, but could only use it in Fairbanks (apparently the hotels in Anchorage are too high of a "level"), and we couldn't transfer the free night to anyone (which I totally would have done!), so we took a trip to Fairbanks in August.

The only other time I'd been to Fairbanks was on our honeymoon, and I just did not care for the town.

My opinion did not change.

But at least the drive up was pretty, and we got to have some yummy Chinese food at Pagoda House in North Pole!
