Roar of the Lion
August 31, 2008Hey everyone, just thought I would post some pictures from our annual trek to Oak Creek's Lion's Fest. As usual we enjoyed sweet corn, beer, brats, and cheese curds (the first ones we ordered actually tasted like cheese turds). Our fun began by running into the weenies that run around…Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
August 24, 2008Today we left Alaska and made it safely back to Milwaukee. We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing the sights. I think our trip can be summed up with the phrase "planes, trains, and automobiles". We certainly saw a lot of Alaska by all three modes of transportation.On…
Choo Choo!!
August 23, 2008Today was another relaxing day with nothing on the agenda other than to catch the train at 4:45p.m. After all the excitement from earlier in the week, it was a little difficult for me to just sit back and relax. Upon leaving the lodge we headed into the small town…
Mountain . . .What Mountain?
August 22, 2008Thank goodness we took the flight to Mt McKinley yesterday! Had we not seen it yesterday, I wouldn't have believed that there was a mountain anywhere in the vicinity of our hotel. We had a very grey, dreary day today, as it rained most of the morning. We used our…

August 21, 2008This morning we headed to the Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge via train. The train ride was about 3 hours long and not overly impressive. Shockingly, only two pictures were taken on the ride. Once we arrived to Talkeetna, we decided to take the 1 hour ride to the lodge instead…
Snap, Crackle, Pop
August 20, 2008The weather was good today and our boat tour of the Kenai Fjords Peninsula and glaciers was a go! Along the way we saw Bald Eagles, Puffins, a Humpback Whale, and Sea Otters. Perhaps the most exciting thing however, was the Aialik Glacier. The glacier gave us the title of…
Seward Surprises
August 19, 2008Yesterday, August 18th, was full of pleasant surprises. Besides knowing where we were spending the night in Seward, we didn't have any other concrete plans. We left Anchorage in the morning and headed south to Seward. In Anchorage, we were somewhat unimpressed with the scenery, but the drive to Seward…
Clown Car and Revele
August 18, 2008We've made it to Alaksa with no problems. So far everything has gone to plan . . .well almost. When we were getting our rental car, we decided to stick with what I originally reserved, which was an "Economy Car". Looking at the car classification guide at the counter it…Alaska Bound!
August 17, 2008Hey everyone, it's the sarge here with my first and probably last post. I say last because once I show the wife how to blog I will probably be banned. Anyways, I really didn't want to torture anyone with our everyday lives but some friends of ours started blogging and…
