Hey, Heather and Jeff have been quiet for the last week and a half. Wonder what have they been up to? The short answer is a lot, but not really anything worth a blog post on its own, so we will keep this short and to the point! After leaving Stewart, we headed east across …
In our last post, we chronicled our trip across the Top of the World Highway and across the border into Canada. The first town you reach once into the Yukon is Dawson City and because of the rich history of the area, we knew we would spend a few days exploring. The only way to …
We have been dreading this day. Since we entered Alaska three months ago, we have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with the state. Heather said last night that she was concerned before our visit that we had built it up in our minds so much that we might be disappointed with the reality, …
Leaving Valdez was hard. It was a gorgeous place, we had amazing weather, and there was still plenty to keep us busy there that we hadn’t done. We have learned, though, that you can’t do it all and you have to save something for your next trip! Knowing that Alaska still had more to offer …
Valdez is spectacular! No kidding, it is likely the most gorgeous setting for a town we have ever seen. The mountains are huge and gorgeous with glaciers between, the water is blue, berries are ripe, and flowers are blooming everywhere! It is almost magical.

As mentioned in our last post, we are back in Palmer for a few days. There are a number of chores that we need to accomplish while here, but first we had some activities that we ran out of time for last time we were in the area, so we got to the fun stuff …
Today was a note-worthy day for several reasons! First, we are currently in Homer, Alaska for a few days with Heather’s Uncle Richard. He has flown in for a week to visit and explore the Kenai Peninsula with us! Second, we took a scenic cruise to Seldovia, Alaska. Finally, it was an absolutely gorgeous day. …
This is going to be a quick one. We are still in Palmer, AK and plan to stay for a few more days! We are so impressed with the Palmer area. The combination of mountains and farmland make it absolutely gorgeous, there are lots of things to do to keep you busy, and the crowds …
We spent the last few days along the Steese Highway. This is Alaska Highway 6 that travels northeast from Fairbanks and ends at the town of Circle. There are both paved and gravel portions of this road. We only traveled as far as Twelve Mile Summit, which is about halfway, but we found the portion …
We have spent the last three nights at Chena Hot Springs Resort, north-east of Fairbanks. This place is a very eclectic mix of historic, natural, and man-made treasures. There are such a wide variety of activities and attractions that everyone is sure to find something they will enjoy. Let’s start with the activities we enjoyed …
