Happy Anniversary!

August 12, 2023.  We have been in Alaska one year ❤️ and pretty much loved every minute.

People say it’s been a crazy, atypical year.  Records were set for rain last summer and snow last winter.  Spring and all it brings with it (flowers, birds, warmth) were weeks behind schedule.  And this summer?  People just shake their heads.  Beautiful, sunny days have not been frequent.

But, our year-long vacation here has exceeded our expectations.  We’ve done a lot, traveled as much as weather and finances would allow.  Still a lot to see, though, and I know we will be back.

Here’s a pictorial wrap-up.

We usually go out to dinner on the 12th of each month to celebrate.  Tonight we are trying Club Paris, a throwback, 1950s style steakhouse, one of the oldest restaurants in Anchorage.  

Cheers to one year!
