Journey to Alaska

Phew.. Well we made it! After 10 days of traveling I can finally plant some roots in my new home. Our journey began in Las Vegas of course and our first stop was San Francisco! I never understood what the big deal about it was, but trust me.. I KNOW NOW! It was amazing, well other then driving the insanely crazy hilly streets they have with my ginormous truck. LOL Almost took a couple cars out more then once.. Hehehe My hunnybun Andrea and her hubby Troy were supposed to come up to Seattle with us, but they had an unexpected situation arise while in San Fran and they had to leave us. However we enjoyed our time with them!


We also went to a Giants game.. That's baseball to those like me who had no clue they even had a team. LOL Here's me and my Annie enjoying the view, the hotdogs, the hot cocoa (Yes really) and the game!

Our next stop was the Avenue of the Giants... My Poppop always talks about this place but you really do have to see it to believe it. These thousand year old trees not only make you feel young, but way small too! :)

We continued on up the Oregon Coast (my favorite place) It is so beautiful with all the trees, rocky shorelines and cool crisp weather. I grew up near the beaches, but these were different.. well besides the obvious freezing water that I just had to go walking in.

Our last stop before braving the ALCAN highway was Seattle... Home of Grey's Anatomy!! Whoot whoot... even though Seattle Grace doesn't exist. LOL We did enjoy Pike's Pier, the Space Needle, a cool Duck Tour and some YUM seafood!


The last few days of our trip were through Canada... (2500 miles) Took us 3 days and it was amazing. We ran into some "friendly" Bears, Moose, Stone Sheep, Buffalo and a real cute Prairie Dog :) If you ever get the chance to camp through Canada... DO IT and take your time. It's extremely beautiful and there's so much to see, plus the ALCAN highway has an interesting history.
