10 Year Trip

A few weeks ago Ryan and I took advantage of his parents being in town and took a trip to Anchorage and Seward.  It was so fun to spend time just the two of us.  We had gorgeous weather until we were driving back and enjoyed a few Alaskan things that we haven't done before.

The weather was perfect on the drive down and Denali was out!  Gorgeous mountain!

We spent one night in the Marriott in Anchorage.  It was super-nice!

We were able to attend the temple the next day and enjoyed the beautiful flowers there.


Then we drove to Seward.  We did a glacier cruise and saw a lot of animals.  Here are some sea otters.

Bubble-net feeding humpback whales were another treat.

Sea lions on the rocks.

The glaciers were amazing.  They were a lot bigger than they seem.  They were also really noisy.  We saw a few small calvings, which was awesome.



And the icing on the cake, orcas!  We went out of way and saw several pods of them.  They were wonderful.  There was even a little one that stayed right by it's mom.



The next day we went out on a fishing charter.  It was a little chilly and I got a little seasick, but overall it was a good time.


We caught 2 halibut (yummy!) and 4 black rockfish.

I am so lucky to be married to such a great guy!  It was nice to just focus on each other for a week.  We love our kids, but they always need things and sometimes it's nice to just remember why we love each other.
