Our visit to Alaska

So, Sam and I just returned from visiting my family in Alaska. It was a wonderful trip home. We stopped in Anchorage overnight to visit with some friends who recently moved there from Hawaii. Tom is a pilot for Alaska Airlines and Maryann recently retired from the military. They have a daughter, Ellen, who attended Bennett Youth Center where Sam worked. That's actually where he first met them. It was nice to see them again and spend a little time there. Unfortunately, Tom had to work while we were there, so we didn't see much of him.

It was so nice being back in Alaska. The weather was great, especially after the 85 + heat we were having in Hawaii. I was really ready to get home to Fairbanks/Delta. Kristy and the kids came up from Ft. Bragg, NC, so it was really nice to have all of us there at the same time. It was great to see Connor and Hadassah again. They are both such good kids. I was glad to get to know Hadassah. Sam didn't get to stay very long, but we enjoyed the time we had.
