Our whirlwind trip

We had Grandparents come for a visit. We did a lot of traveling in one week. Our first days drive was to Anchorage to spend the night before the next leg of travel.

My Dad and Judith and my niece. She was a hoot, she would look at me and say, "Got it!" when I told her something.

  1. Hi Melissa,

    What a great trip you had! And what a huge halibut. I had no idea they were so large! We take halibut liver oil, so I feel a bit of kinship to them. LOL

    I'd love to become your friend. Thank you for asking.

  4. Jane, it is too light up here to do any fireworks this time of year. It doesn't get dark enough really. I hear they do a lot of fireworks around New Year's eve though...
