Alaska

I've been home from Alaska for about a week now, but I know it was just going to be a monster to blog... so I kept procrastinating... anyway.. enough of that, here's Alaska:






The scenery was spectacular! It was like all he mountains we had ever seen but 10x bigger! It was rainy the first few days we were there. But we didn't mind, since, you know, we live in a desert and never get rain. We flew into Anchorage, drove 3 hours down to Ninilchik and that's where we stayed in this cabin:
So much for roughing it eh?

Some Halibut we caught:

Here's my 50 lb. king salmon (though, I did get tired so Ben and Jesse had to help me reel it in):


The first thing I reeled in was a sting-ray (we threw him back):

And here's Jesse hiking inside a glacier:

Here's all my family on the trip (from L to R: Ben, Kevin, Jesse, Dave, Chris, and Sam):

And all the shop guys that came (from L to R: Mike, Mike T., Kevin, Jesse, Chris O'connor, Eric Miller, Sam, and Eric)

Me and Jesse on the Halibut boat (ain't we cute?)
