We truly loved Alaska. It was an experience. This is our last post from our time there…. The scenery…breathtaking. Never have we said, “Wow! Look at that….it’s beautiful….amazing!” so many times!

In Anchorage, at our concert at Chapel by the Sea, we met a dear family who owns a business giving guided trail rides. They invited our family to come over and ride. So all twelve of us mounted horses and set off for the mountains. It was so sweet to watch the father leading everyone-with […]

While in Skagway, Alaska, we met a couple that owns/runs the Klondike Gold Rush Experience.
