I'm sorry for not keeping up with this. I said I'd write about my Alaska vacation when I got home and well....have just flaked. It's been a couple weeks since I got home. It was a great vacation. I think my friend's and I had figure out that it had been three years since I'd been up there. The place is still as beautiful as ever.
This year we went camping in Valdez. It was sunny the first day, but then the rain came. And did it rain. We camped for 4 nights and would relax, fish (the kids mainly) and wonder around Valdez. I had a lot of fun with my friends. I've missed them so much. It was great to see how much their kids had grown.
When we came back from camping in Valdez; I spent a couple days visiting with various friends that I had not seen in years. It was awesome to see where life had taken them, catching up and meeting their kids.
One of the highlights of my trip was getting to watch three brown bears in the creek. I believe it was a mom and her two cubs. At one point the mom
and one of the cubs 
wondered off into the trees and the other cub stayed behind playing with a sandbag that he had found in the creek. It was amazing and fun to watch.It was a great vacation and so nice to spend time with people that I love dearly.
I just had to share one of my favorite pictures from my trip. I was just taking a photo of the fishing boats and I happened to capture a bird in flight centered in my photo. There is no way I could have planned it.
