Alaska!

Just got back from an amazingly fun trip with the fam around the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, and all I have to say is that I am definitely putting Alaska on the short list of places to revisit again and again in life! It's so gorgeous, and I only got to see a teeny tiny part of it!

Here are just a few of the highlights:

Just a word about halibut fishing: I now understand why it's so expensive. It is so hard. Like deathly sore arms and bruised hipbone from trying to balance the dang pole on my hip type of hard. I'm sure the turbulent seas didn't help either, but man I gained a whole new respect for fisherman after that day of fishing! Salmon fishing is fun, halibut fishing is not.

And last but not least, my cute mom. This woman is my favorite and makes every trip a million times more fun!
