As some of you are aware, Michael and I took three weeks vacation and went to Alaska. We spent just over a week hanging out with our friend Tania from Fairbanks, and were joined by Neurondoc and her family.<\/p>\n
Then Tania went home while the five of us went on a cruise down the Inside Passage, viewing glaciers and stopping at port cities. <\/p>\n
Then we spent two days (one night) in Vancouver, where we met Jeri, and then spent several days in Seattle.<\/p>\n
If you were wondering why I hadn’t been around much, that’s why.<\/p>\n
The trip was amazing. I do not have superlatives enough to describe it.<\/p>\n
I do, however, have several thousand pictures.<\/p>\n
Never fear, I will not subject you to that many pictures. I’m planning on posting several of my favorite pictures every day, and if I feel so motivated, telling you a bit about that area we saw. You can also click through to Flickr to see more pictures there, but I am being aggressive in culling pictures, and putting up only ones that I think best represent wherever we were visiting.<\/p>\n
Then I plan to go through I work through the shots I took for myself (things I found interesting\/fascinating) and only then will I allow myself to go through all the flower pictures.<\/p>\n
Because I took a LOT of plant pictures. The botany of Alaska is not just different from what I am used to here in West Virginia, but it differed from region to region, often significantly.<\/p>\n
If you have any questions about where we went and what we did, please feel free to ask. <\/p>\n
Alaska is definitely a place everyone should visit–and should do so while they are young enough to get out and hike and see places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
