The mountains created a gorgeous background for our vacation. It was so beautiful! This is a stop along the road on our trip to Seward. Wish I could capture the beauty of the drive...
Here's Grace with my brother. He called himself "The Baby Whisperer" because she fell asleep in his arms quite often during our visit! (I think he just picked the right times to hold her!)
Jeff and Gracie and I took the tram at the Alyeska Resort one afternoon. Here we are at the top. The view was amazing!
We went on an hour-long cruise to view Portage Glacier up close. Gracie LOVES the front-pack. She doesn't like to sit cuddled up to Jeff--she likes to face forward to see the world!
My parents were with us on the first leg of the trip--in Anchorage. We all stayed with my brother in his 2-room apartment. It was lots of fun in close quarters! I love this picture of my mom and Gracie in the back of Ben's pickup--we drove all over, spending lots of quality car time together.
Here's a pic of Mom and Dad reading the history of the Independence Gold Mine. No gold here now--though we saw people panning!--it was abandoned years ago.

What fun! I think it is FABULOUS that you guys took Gracie on such an adventure - awesome proof that having kids doesn't slow you down! (Just makes you a bit more sleep deprived.) What a travelor your Gracie is and your brother is welcome here anytime to test his baby whisperer skills.
What fun memories you are making! I'm glad Gracie is such a good traveler also. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of the wild frontier.
What a great trip! I am so glad that you got the opportunity to go and enjoy the beauty of Alaska. Just yesterday I was looking at some pictures of our trip to Alaska 7 years ago - what great memories. Can you believe it has been 7 years?!
