Papa, Paige and Maddie come to visit

We were so lucky this summer to have my dad and little sisters come visit us. We had a blast with them seeing some of what there is to see here in Alaska. I loved having my dad, who is just like me with seeing it all and going until we can't walk anymore. I think we had a couple of days that we really wore out our crew, but it was fun!

Bennett posing for us in Whittier, AK. Whittier is this very quaint port town about an hour south of Anchorage. To get to the town you have to drive through a 2.5 mile one lane tunnel.

How fun! Your family is so good about visiting you there. We need to be just as good. It's on our bucket list to make a trip to Alaska. Maybe you'll still be there when it finally happens???!!!! ;)
