Day 2....Seward, Alaska

 

We arrived in Seward, Alaska mid morning. 

 Again, the scenery was just beautiful and the weather cool but not cold. 

 We wandered the streets and had our first taste of Alaskan Fish and Chips...

with freshly caught Halibut...DELICIOUS!! 

The town was filled with darling artisan shops and wonderful food. 

The perfect beginning to our Alaskan adventure...

 

Day 1, Alaskan Adventure...Train Ride To Seward, Alaska...

 

Day 1 of the Alaskan Adventure... 

We arrived at the hotel in Anchorage around 2:00 am. Everyone exhausted, 

but happy with the cool temperatures. Uncle Nate and Aunt Jen had arrived earlier in the day. 

We slept for just a couple of hours then boarded a passenger 

train to Seward, Alaska. We were all so tired, 

but excited for the adventure that was ahead of us.

   

 The scenery was breathtaking! 

 We soaked it all up! The landscape...the wildlife...the streams...the glaciers... 

It was all beyond amazing!

 

We had a great time together! 

 The train ride was 4 hours long...worth every minute! 

They served a fun breakfast along with great commentary along the way,  

Teaching us about Alaska. We had time to visit...

sleep...eat...take pictures and tease each other.

 It was a great time!!

 

Alaska With The Darlings...

 

Several months ago The Farmer suggested that we take a family trip. 

It's something we try and do a couple of times a year, but as 

The Darlings get older...it gets more and more difficult. 

 This seemed like a good year for us all to gather together and do 

something really fun. We have wanted to visit Alaska for a long time...

it's a bucket list trip for us, so it seemed like the perfect destination for the family.

 

We decided to meet in Mesa, 

Precious would join us there from Utah, 

and the rest would travel from Mexico. 

 The day we arrived in It was 124 degrees in Phoenix! 

We stopped at Grandma Vicki's to get PreSh and say hi... 

Then it was off to the airport.

   

 Traveling with the whole family was really a great time! 

Lots of laughing...talking...eating...a very good time!

   

 We boarded the plane and headed to Seattle 

and then on to Anchorage Alaska, where we arrived in the middle of the night.
