Alaska Vacation 2009 - Part 1 - Blueberry Hills

I know...I know...we're behind with our blog postings, better late than never. Here's a few (well quite a few) pictures along with a summary of our vactation to Alaska last year.

A co-worker and friend purchased a vacation home in Moose Pass, Alaska and invited us up to play tourist, so we just couldn't pass up the offer (Thanks Lorri!). And what a fun time...we've got a lot of stories. We started the trip by heading north from Anchorage to get a view Denali (only out-of-towners call it Mt. McKinley...just in case you were wondering). On the way we spent the night in an out of season cross-country ski lodge in Hatcher Pass.

Here's our cabin in Hatcher Pass. Unfortunately, a rain storm rolled in just as we arrived so rather than hike in the cold and rain we played board games insides the lodge and relaxed.

We soon realized that the ski lodge was surrounded by wild blueberry fields so we spent the afternoon hiking around the area and picking up blueberrys....really good blueberrys.

The Next Day we hiked around an old mine just up the road from the ski lodge. Got a quick peak at Denali and started the drive to Moose Pass.

Jaclynn has an uncanny ability to time her blinks with the snap of a camera...but don't we look like a good couple anyway?
