We have traveled to and from Alaska and now have many memories. We were able to celebrate with Dave's sister, Deborah, and her marriage to Joe. Welcome to the family Joe! We took the week after the wedding to do some sightseeing in the Alaskan wilderness with Dave's family, minus the bride and groom. The boys experienced many firsts...plane, boat, train and bus. It was a wonderful trip and we'll share a few highlights with you here. We flew from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis and then to Anchorage. The boys did great on the flights. We helped with wedding prep and wedding things for three days and then the Alaska adventures began. We spent a day on a boat trip seeing glaciers, and lots of wildlife. Took a train ride to Denali National Park and spent time hiking and seeing wildlife in the park. A bus took us back to Anchorage and while on a stop for more passengers we were able to see Mt. McKinley. It was too cloudy the day we were in the park to see it but we had a clear day the next day and got to see the summit between clouds. We have over 3200 pictures with all the cameras so getting it down to just a few for the blog was very hard. Enjoy!
