Alaska or Bust!

Did you all know we are going to Alaska this summer? Jared and I made a few "Family New Year's Resolution" this year and one of them was to take a vacation and enjoy ourselves a little. So we are going to visit Steve and Cammie (Jared's brother and sister-in-law) who live up there with their baby, Logan, who is just a few weeks younger then Carson. I am really excited, I really love to travel. I always get a little jealous when I have to drop someone off at the airport because I want to go somewhere too! We are taking the kids and so I am a little nervous about that, but I am sure they will be okay and have a great time too (of course Carson laughs when he plays with paper, so I guess we don't need to fly him to Alaska to give him a good time).

Yesterday I found this great website ( www.alaskasview.com ) of a booking agent in Alaska that rents out condos and cottages for a few days at a time. It was a great find! So Cammie and Steve looked into it and now instead of staying in a motel for $250/night for one room - we are staying in a 3 bedroom apartment with a view of the water for $215/night. We will also have a kitchen and living room, so we can put the kids down for the night and have a place to hang out. Great find right!?

We are planning fishing, glacier tours, and a visit to the Iditarod Dog Sled Training Center and the Seward Sea Life Center (which I have been told I "CAN NOT MISS"). In the beginning stages of planning this trip we hit a rough patch and I was a little worried, but I glad to say we worked through it and I am really starting to get excited. So look forward to lots of fun pictures!
