alaska: my home away from home

we spent 10 glorious days in alaska this year. endless days filled with fishing, moose watching, gun shooting, beer drinking, and family bonding. it was our best trip yet!

this is our house... its surrounded by acres and acres of beautiful wilderness.

this is clay's cabin. its a one bedroom cabin eqipped with a bathroom. yes, my son is definately spoiled by his grandparents in alaska.

here are some moose that like to wander through our yard.
