vacation from a vacation


We've been to Ohio and back to South Dakota, and all sorts of places in between. We had some great visits with lots of our friends and family and spent some time in Chicago visiting Liz and helping Michelle and Rob and family with their move to Rapid City, SD. We've made it here with them, helped them get moved in and enjoyed the last couple of days finally in the same bed more than one night in a row. Now, alas, we head out on our vacation from our vacation!

We are working our way up to Fairbanks over the next week or so; with a planned itinerary through Montana up to Glacier National Park, then on to Banff and Jasper National Parks via Calgary. Then some endless amount of miles through Northern Canada before reaching Alaska. We'll be visiting Ryan's cousin and her family, as well as his aunt and uncle in Fairbanks before continuing to southern Alaska and hopefully working our way via ferry through the Inner Passage back towards Seattle. Then on to Arizona from there.

Ryan and Patty: It was great as always to have you around this past week. Our move would have been exponentially more challenging without your help...really! Thank you! We hope you had a little bit of fun amidst the moving chaos. Enjoy your trip to Alaska. Hopefully, you'll be able to post a couple of updates so we can follow your northern adventure. Enjoy your trip! -Aloha, Rob Michelle, Luke and Abby

Patty and Ryan - It has been a while since I saw you guys... I think Ryan was dressed as Buzz Lightyear at the time... anyway, when are you coming back to AZ? My boyfriend and I are going there the first week of Sept. and we would love to see you both! I am SOOOO impressed with this blog of yours. Amazing photos. Scott and I looked at it all tonight and it made us really excited for the trip! Have fun in Alaska! - Mara
