20 Lists of 10 in 2010
Hi! So I have more great photos to share from my snorkeling vacation in Florida, but first I wanted to share a to do list for 2010. I was turned on to this concept by two friends. First, I’m not one to make resolutions as a calendar date means nothing to my success or failure at some task. But this one seemed different. The email that I got from Erin was super intriguing…”So in case you haven’t heard, my friend Nina, who was inspired by her friend Maria, has begun a fun new tradition for 2010 … making 20 lists of 10 for 2010. Of your goals, dreams, plans, wants,…

Mt McKinley Flightseeing
Today Ryan and I took a flightseeing tour of Mt McKinley. It was the most fun thing we’ve done so far on this trip! It was breathtakingly beautiful and we LANDED ON A GLACIER!! From left to right….Mount Foraker, Mount Hunter, and Mount McKinley. Today, all images are straight out of the camera, no photoshop, no processing. It’s just that amazing!

The glacier extends 3000′ below the surface for a total of 8000′ of depth of the crevasse. Heart shaped glacial movement. Aw….. Landing on…

Exit Glacier and Talkeetna
Our day began in Seward, Alaska. Seward is a popular fishing village where many restaurants will cook the fish that you catch. Fishing wasn’t on our agenda, but it sounded fun anyway. The main reason we stayed in Seward was so we could go to Exit Glacier. Erin and I are snapping pics at the glacier. Photo by Ryan. Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park See me? You can normally hike to the “toe” of the glacier, but it was closed due to flooding. The incredible shrinking glacier….. View of Mt McKinley on the way to Talkeetna. Tonight we are staying in Talkeetna. Talkeetna is the real city on…

Girdwood, Portage Glacier, and Whittier, Alaska
Another great day in Alaska. The weather has been much better than expected, which is unusual for Alaska. Here is today…. We started out in Anchorage and had a repeat breakfast at the Snow City Cafe. Our waiter told me I was honored to get the coveted “Pug Mug.” The cafe has all different kind of coffee mugs. After breakfast, we started driving toward Seward. We didn’t make it far, only to a lookout point. These cool rocks surrounded the parking lot. Next stop–Girdwood. We went on the Aleyeska Tramway at the Aleyeska Resort. The tram climbs a 2000′ vertical. Atop the mountain, there is 1000 inches of snow annually…

Anchorage, Alaska
Greetings from the 49th State. Ryan and I flew up to Alaska on Monday afternoon. We were greeted in Anchorage by the lovely Erin Paull! She helped us start our vacation off right with a late dinner and a good night’s sleep. Tuesday morning, we had breakfast at Snow City Cafe and took a walk around downtown Anchorage. I think I look pretty good on this moose. These salmon sculptures are around the city Fur store One thing that really surprised me was the amount of flowers in Anchorage (or Alaska for that matter). Erin said the flowers are plentiful because the growing season is so short, but there is…
