Way overdue update:
Pictures from family vacation to Alaska! (Just a few)
Anchorage is an amazingly beautiful city with one of the best biking/walking/ running trail system of any city. This is how close we got to one of the over 1600 moose that live within city limits:


Went on a couple of day cruises to see the glaciers before they all melt away.


and even saw a humpback whale

Went up to Denali National Park, but because of the clouds, we didn't see Mt. McKinley until the morning we were leaving.

That's 20,000 feet of mountain from base to summit.
Saw some Puffins and other sea birds at the Alaska Sea Life center in Seward.


Everybody loves Puffins!
And we saw some Musk Ox at a Musk Ox ranch.

The last day in Alaska we hiked up the trail to the Harding Ice Fields. 2,500 ft vertical climb in 3 miles.

It was brutal and there was fresh bear poop all along the trail.
Fond memories of spending most of August with the family in Alaska!
Next update: Pictures from SG sets I shot this summer and Fall!
