... to adventure and trouble. I mean you can encounter wild animals, get lost, find complete quiet, and get yourself into trouble if you get dumb. I find in my travels, that no matter how fascinating the art, the history, the beauty of the rural areas, the congeniality of the people, I need to get home to be where I can't control everything, people are few, and the land is wild and clean. <br><br>Visitors tell me that we're still friendly people here. I notice it when I return ...

... The first of these is at McHugh Creek, where there's a waterfall within view of the highway. <br><br>Beluga Point, a few miles further along, offers dramatic views of the Inlet and owes its name to the beluga whales that can sometimes be sighted from there; although our entertainer from last night said that he has NEVER seen a beluga there and that he has been trying for years. We didn't stop since we will be traveling this way again on ...

... inlets, around small islands and harbors of Resurrection Bay and out into the open water. We slowed down to watch stellar porpoises' play in front of the boat. We also saw sea lions, mountain goats, several birds and a silly otter doing somersaults in the harbor. I don't think I can adequately describe the breathtaking scenery. The $132 I spent for this tour was well worth it in my opinion ...

... pictures will not be making the blog. We have found that when the sun comes out we swarm and head toward the highest, most scenic spot we can find in the shortest time to enjoy the view. None of us have seen McKinley since our arrival but we remain optimistic. We were so optimistic that last weekend a group of us headed to Seward where we boarded a boat and set out to sea for a 6 hour cruise of Kenai Fjords National Park. As luck would have it the captain ...

... again shared and it was a simple drive to Anchorage, with the surprise of a freeway entrance road, this took us all by surprise after the bouncy, bumpy roads leading into the State as well as the other places we had been in during this visit to this State. We have noticed compared to Canada and the rest of the USA, a sad lacking of rest stops to take a break after the driving turns, maybe this will be rectified at some point for future ...

A week of an Alaska family vacation is not enough for it would take a lifetime to discover the beauty of Alaska. That's why a family trip planner is suggested to be used for every household who loves to go on family adventures ...

... the<br>highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural<br>habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket<br>and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a<br>deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I<br>can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... rivers. It was great fun though. The idea of the lack of trails in the park is to keep the park in its natural condition and the wildlife there wild so there were plenty opportunities to see animals in their natural habitat. We finally saw some bears but luckily it was from the inside of the park bus because they were only a few feet away. Moose and caribou also featured. After a few days we continued south on the Alaska Railroad from Denali to Anchorage ...

Now I tell the story of how I got a step-mom... I was 4 and Nicolas was 5. My Dad still had no wife. But since it was Christmas, my Dad felt like he found God's angel wanting to help, and now that angel is my mom. Her name is now Mrs. Barren-Peterson. She is only a year younger than my dad, but she was still good then ...
