Alaska, July '12

     Well folks, here it is! The long awaited Alaska update. For those of you who don't already know, it's always been a dream of ours to take a trip to Alaska. So, when it came time to start planning our yearly vacation we knew it just had to be to Alaska. We spent MONTHS preparing for our cruise... looking up cruise lines, planning excursions, and of course getting ready for all of the amazing sights that would soon blow our minds!

     We ended up choosing Norwegian Cruise lines, and planned on four stops in port... three in Alaskan and one in Victoria, BC. Our first stop was Ketchikan followed by Juneau and then the long awaited Skagway. Because it was our first cruise and our very first trip to Alaska, we decided against booking all of our time in port doing excursions and planned to sight see instead. I must say, I'm totally glad we did; the sights were absolutely amazing, there wasn't one view that I wouldn't consider absolutely breathtaking! 

     I'm sure you could all guess which excursion we ended up doing... dog sledding! I can't even begin to tell you how excited we were for this. On the morning of, we were like two kids on Christmas eve... sooo excited! Our trip to the mushers camp was topped off when we learned that our musher was Greg Sellentin, of mushing.com! 

     Anywho, enough talk... on to the pictures!
