Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

This is a pic my youngest son snapped on our family trip to Alaska in 2007--isn't it gorgeous?!?!? Alaska had always been a dream of mine and we were blessed to be able to make a two-week trip in May that year with our two sons. We flew to Anchorage, rented an RV and drove 1700+ miles in a big loop on all 3 major highways--yup, there's only 3 main highways. Saw lots of awesome scenery...hiked through untamed wilderness...were lucky to have a gorgeous view of Mt. McKinley...saw loads of wildlife...a cousin from Fairbanks with his own charter service flew us north of the Arctic Circle to Fort Yukon (awesome experience--thanks Tom)...went deep-sea fishing with wonderful folks who have roots here in our area--thanks Denny and Ginger (son #1 and I each caught a skate and halibut)...and that's just a smidgen of the adventure...it was truly a trip of a lifetime--one that will never be forgotten! Yes, dreams do come true!
Mt. McKinley--all I can say is "WOW".(I found Thoreau's quote today and originally was just going to post it...then thought, "why not add a pic to go with it"...then the rest just seemed to flow...I may share some more pics and adventures in a future post if you're interested...let me know.)
Great Pictures....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog and giving me the rest of the info on the quote!!! I had "borrowed" it from another blog and was glad to have the additional info!!!
Have a great day...

WoW, those are fantastic photos. I've lived in several places but I've never visited Alaska. The closest we've come to similar photos are the mountains of Tennessee.

Hey! I love these! Thanks for posting! Plus, I wanted to say thank you for your prayers for us. I actually want to say "I can't wait to see what is in store." Bless You!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, that trip is something I have always thought about and think I would like to do someday. Several couples from here took the cruise a few years back, but it was very expensive and almost 14 days, that is a long time to be gone from home to me. If you ever post more pics from this trip, please let me know.
