This summer we had a great time in Alaska. We drove the famous Alaskan Highway. Beautiful sights, hairy bears, buffalo and some crazy things. Its great being married to a Teacher who has the entire summer off to take time to go on great trips like these. On the way to Alaska we stopped in Canada to pick up Brett's old mission buddy Frank and his brother in law Winston (who really goes by the name Boy) to go along. It took us about five days to drive from Cardston Canada to Anchorage Alaska. When we arrived in Anchorage we picked up my Parents (Rod and Roxann) at the airport. The next day we headed to our destination - Homer Alaska. We stayed with a Friend in one of her many cabins there. Its a lot like the homes in the movie The Proposal. You load your bags on a boat, take a 20 minute boat ride and you are there. Its beautiful! I wouldn't want it any other way. The men went fishing as soon as they could and caught 17 Salmon the first day
We ate Fish and Potatoes almost EVERY MEAL. Dad says there is nothing better than fresh Salmon for dinner. I do have to say it was pretty good.
Winston, Brett, Frank and my Dad Rod
While the mighty fishermen were out catching "dinner" Ethan, Mom and I would go out sight seeing and checking out the shops.
Ethan was our "Little Captain"
We went on a Glacier tour in Wittier. It was incredible. Getting up close to those glaciers was awe inspiring. One of the glaciers even calved a few times while we were there. The sound was incredible.
This trip was so much fun. Alaska has a place in my heart. I would recommend going to Alaska to everyone I know. But then I recommend going to a lot of places... Ghana, New York, England, D.C. I love to travel and am so glad I am a world traveler. I look forward to the many more trips in store. :)
On the way home. When we would stop for diesel we would get Ethan out to let him stretch and get some wiggles out. We would let him crawl on top of the Tonneau cover because I knew that every patch of grass had been urinated on by the many Canines who travel the Alcan with their owners :( Yuck
This Bear even looked Both Ways before crossing the street. :)
