Our trip was AWESOME I did not want to come back to work I need to take a week off more often. We decided to go to Alaska for our 3rd anniversary (can you believe it has been 3 years) and to see my sisters new baby. We got to Alaska at about 12:30am (2:30am our time) we were tired and we got our rental car and went to our hotel, turns out to be a 45 minute drive. Friday we woke up and went to Kimmy's and hung out all day went to the mall bought some souvenirs then went back to her house hung out played games. Saturday we went over to the air force side of the base took lots of pictures. Sunday we went to the Farmers market which is actually like a bunch of tents/booths of people selling stuff. It was like going to the carnival without all the rides. Lots of food and gifts and cool stuff like that. Then we decided that we were just going to go drive around and take pictures. That was fun. There are so many different types of churches so I started taking pictures of all these churches it was cool. The scenery up there is absolutely beautiful too. We saw two different moose right off the main highway. Monday we headed to the zoo. It was Kimmy, Dustan, me, Dallin and the two kids Their zoo was nothing like the Hogle Zoo! We took Kailey back to our hotel to stay the night with us I love that little girl so much. Tuesday we went to the Sea life center in Seward. It was a 3 hour drive but it followed the coast so it was a beautiful drive and the kids slept all the way down. It was a different story on the way back the baby cried the whole way and Kailey started to get sick of being in the car. Oh yeah Monday we were supposed to go fishing but because of all the storms they moved it to Saturday. Anyway on Wednesday we got up early and went and to the train rode the train for 3 hours to Talkeetna then from there took a jet boat tour of this river and took a short hike to an old fur trappers cabin then came back got on the train and headed back to anchorage. The whole day was 12 hours. It was SOOOO much fun. Thursday we were getting ready to go to Kim's and she called and had taken Mackenzy to the ER and needed us to come get Kailey so she could eat. We went and got her, ate and then just hung out. Kimmy got home about 3-4 in the afternoon and we just hung out. Friday we were headed to ride the tram and find the tunnel. On our way we stopped and took pictures of all the glaciers they were so cool and I could not believe how blue they were. We found the tunnel (that we had to be to by 6:30 so that we could get to our boat) then we went and rode the tram to the top of a mountain had lunch took some pictures and went back to Kimmy's got to her house about 1:30 then at about 3 we headed to this giant indoor water park they have. It was so cool I didn't want to leave. We left the water park at 7 (Dallin didn't go cause he didn't feel good) we went home and got ready for fishing and went to bed neither one of us slept very good I think we each got about 2 hours of sleep that night. We got up at 3 and left our room by 4 and got to the tunnel at 6 we had to be there by 6:30 in order to make it through in time. We went and got on the boat and headed out it was a 2 1/2 hour ride to the fishing spot. After we got set up it only took a couple hours and we had caught our limit it was tons of fun. We got back and had to hurry and find someplace to package it and ship it home and we barely made the tunnel back. When we got back to our hotel it was 9 and we hadn't even started packing so we packed ran to the store and then went to bed at about 1-2 got up at 5 and headed to Kimmy's threw some stuff in Kailey's bag and headed to the airport. We almost missed our flight that would have sucked Kailey was so good on the plane. We landed at 3:45 and got to my house around 6. The trip was absolutely amazing. It was so nice to see my sisters and the kids I sure wish they lived closer. It rained on us 8 out of 10 days but we still had so much fun. It didn't get dark until about 12-1 and then it was light again by 4-5, that was really weird. I can't get over all the stuff to see up there, the roads are just lined with forests it always seemed like a drive up the canyon.
