I just finished my week off from work. I got back here to AK late last night and start up touring again tomorrow. I just spent the last week at home in Washington for a bit and then went down to California for a couple days for Alison's wedding. It was a good week overall but definitely full! For starters, my sister-in-law and brother had their son, Thacher James while I was home (great timing, eh?!) and then Alison got married (obviously)! Crazy!

I leave you here with a couple beautiful pictures of Alaska. Oh gosh, how did that picture of Karissa and me get in there? How embarrassing!...Well, I guess that's a part of Alaska's beauty right there! haha. Tomorrow I leave Alaska for about 10 days! I am headed back home to spend time with family (and hopefully meet my new nephew if he chooses to enter the world while I'm home) and then I head down to California for Alison's wedding! Fun times are to be had in the next week!
So there's this tour that we have to accompany our guests on and it's called the Tundra Wilderness Tour...it's a 6-8 hour bus ride through Denali National Park. Normally, I am not a big fan of this tour but, being the good tour director that I am, I went on this tour last week. Usually you don't really see much wildlife (maybe a caribou, some Dall sheep and a ptarmigan or two) but this time we saw grizzly bears super close. It felt like I was living inside my tv on the discovery channel. So here's a picture of the Alaskan wildlife (much anticipated, I'm sure). Oh, and I almost forgot: the larger bear definitely went poo out there in front of us...thus answering the long-time question of "do bears poo in the woods?" (I know you were pondering that question for decades...you're welcome for answering it for you!)
