Alaska
Alaska looked like what I once dreamed Colorado would look like: tree-covered mountains crowned with snow, fast-running streams and thick forests. Like this:


Then there were the incredible mountains and glaciers coming down to the ocean.
This is Resurrection Bay at Seward:


And, of course, there were glaciers


and bear


and lovely forest trails


I could probably just upload most of my 300+ pictures to show you the amazing diversity -- and we just saw a tiny corner. We could not work out a trip to Sitka, which was the capital when Russia owned Alaska, and which was #1 on my list of things to do. Unfortunately, when there were flights available, there were no hotel rooms in Sitka, and vice versa. So we've already decided to take a long weekend for that.

I have many stories to tell. Oh, and pictures. Did I mention pictures?

I am older than dirt, but I still feel pretty young & some call me the Energizer Bunny. I share a house with the Professor & 3 cats. Between us we have 5 grown children, all of whom are productive members of society (!), and 10 grandchildren. I have a job I love, a little money for the 1st time in my life, and so many more things I want to do than I will ever have time for.
