This post is written by Beth Wenz Haisley and documents my first trip to Alaska. I've enjoyed my time exploring my daughter and son-in-law's beautiful new state of residence. Alaska certainly is a big, wild life! Thank you Carrie and Luke. I've had a wonderful visit!
Flying in over Cook Inlet. The sky really was that blue!
Greeting my granddog for the first time in almost a year and half with special Hoosier treats.
I shared my bed with a few others.
University Lake Park.

Bird Point - it was rather windy, but offered spectacular views.
Glaciers, driving into Girdwood.
On board the tram which took us to the top of Mount Alyeska.
