And Then, There Was Alaska

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Maybe nothing lasts- my twenties, my vacation, maybe even my relationship. Maybe one-by-one each will melt away like the glaciers we saw. But, for a moment at least, I shared a place and created memories that will never go away. No matter what comes, I’ll always be able to look back and say “remember when,” not “if.”

These are so beautiful – as is the sentiment behind “remember when” not “if”. I really do love that.

Really incredible, Nic. Congrats on pulling off an epic 30th trip x

You did NOT take these pics yourself! These have to be postcards or something out of a travel brochure. Wow. Seriously amazing. Nicely done. Looks like a great trip.

Actually, the boy took several of the pictures. Thankfully he did because I was busy geeking out about every little thing…especially whale watching when I decided I wanted to hug the whales and was hanging over the railing of the boat.

Alaska is one part of our country I really, REALLY want to see. These photos pretty much confirm its spot on my wish list!
