Getting Caught up: Alaska June 2015

I'm not a great blogger. In fact, I don't really care to keep up on a journal or to write out my thoughts for most things, so when Jeremy asked me to take over the blog I thought, "OK, this won't be so bad... typing is much faster than writing and most of our blog posts are pictures, so it won't be so hard to keep up to date on it." Giving myself a little credit, I did keep up with it for a little while, but then...  I see now that it has been about 6 months since I blogged. At least I get to start up again with one of the best trips we have ever gone on - ALASKA. I won't fit it all into one post, but we began our trip in Anchorage. We spent a few nights in Seward before flying up to Fairbanks for our excursion into the Arctic Circle. Without further ado, here are the best pictures from the trip.

Anchorage hiking

Our first moose sighting

Getting a closer look - but not too close. These animals are HUGE! 

Our first view of Mt. McKinley, a couple hundred miles away

It was a bit of a scramble getting up to the top

                                      

We made it! 

Day 2 hiking in the area north of Anchorage

The two lakes in this picture have different sources - one is a glacier and the other is rain water - which is why they are different colors. 

Stay tuned for more!
