Vaction in Alaska

Brett had some business in Anchorage and he invited me to tag along for the fun of it. So we dropped our older three kids off at Grandma's house (bless her heart!) and we took off. Connor was not to into the plane ride, but other than that he was an angel. While Brett was at work, Connor and I went to places I knew Brett wouldn't want to go... like the Alaska Botanical Gardens and an Eskimo artifacts museum. After Brett finished up we did some great sight seeing... I'm just glad we didn't see any of these furry friends on any of our hikes!
I had the time of my life on this trip with Brett. It was so fun and such a nice break... but by day two, I was really missing my little ones.

We went biking along the coast. They have a beautiful 11 mile bike path that winds in and out of parks and woodland and follows the coast. (I got some really funny looks because I had Connor in the sling). It made things a little interesting but we had a great day!

We hiked up to a glacier. It was incredible the way it seemed to glow blue from inside and the intense winds that were created by the glacier itself. I was all for hiking up the the ice field above the glacier, but Brett said the 1,350 foot elevation change in a mile and a half might be a little much for that late in the day. Ha Ha (That's Connor in the sling... he lived in there on most of our outings).

Brett really needed a hug! We had to visit this gift shop because it had the worlds largest chocolate fountain. Yum Yum! I was hoping to go for a swim.
