We had so much fun with Jane (Justin's aunt) and Holly (his cousin) here earlier this month!! We saw lots of moose, including even an elusive baby moose, touched a glacier, hiked a ton, and laughed even more! This probably is best told by some pictures (however, I didn't take as many as I normally do with Jane and Holly being the tourists and all!):
Jane with some really big bluebonnets...
Close-up of Alaska's version of a bluebonnet (they call it a forget-me-not, I think, but I forget), but it's the same exact flower just a ton bigger!
Holly in iconic pose....
View from the top...
Resting spot, especially designed for....
...especially for Holly!
At Beluga Point, Just looking for some belugas...
You gotta be careful on these dangerous mudflats...as much as they look like a black, sandy beach, they are NOT!
Wannabe-artsy close-up of the flats...
Jane on her way down to the beach....
The RAILroad goes on forever...in Alaska....
View of Mt. McKinley from Earthquake Park in Anchorage. To the left of the behemoth of 20,320 feet is Mt. Foraker, at a mere 14,000+ feet....FYI, this picture at dusk was taken at midnight...
Baby moose from afar (Holly got much better pics than I did! Can you pass those along, Holly?)...
Holly at the "toe" of the glacier in Seward...
Thank you for coming and being our "guinea pig guests"!! We loved having you...come back again!
P.S. Thank you, John and Annie, for Justin's b-day present...as you can tell he is definitely getting a lot of use out of his fancy sunglasses...
