Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one....Jane Howard
"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

The Reasons I love Alaska

We have been asked many times why we go back to Alaska. It is not a "warm" vacation and we have been there before. However, we simply go back because of the beauty of the areas we get to see. There is no hustle and bustle, it is just beautiful and peaceful.
Enjoy the pictures of our fabulous trip!



These next few pictures are of the rain forest we visited.

























The beautiful Mendenhall Glacier















Baby bears and mom




These are pictures of Haines. We went on a beautiful hike here that ended at the ocean.
















There were times that the tree roots were our steps.











These next pictures are of the scenery as we were cruising in Alaska....





Another whale









I love Alaska. I know it is time to try a different cruise, but I know I will someday go back!!!
