My parents rode their Harley from western NC all the way to Salt Lake. They are more adventurous than I am - I can't imagine sitting for that long! Once they got here, we all packed up and headed to Anchorage.
Riley helped Pappy wash his Harley before we left
His reward for a job well done was to go for a ride on Pappy's bike
The Iditarod Sled dog race starts in downtown Anchorage - this monument marks the starting line
Our kids thought it would be fun to "ride" a sled dog
Yes, I tried a reindeer hotdog/sausage while in Alaska
In front of the Alaska Railroad Station - it's a pretty cool operation because they haul both passengers and freight. You don't find that very often here in the US anymore

The next morning, we woke up early and headed out to get on the train. Here are some pictures of the view from the train.
How would you like to have an airstrip in your backyard? That's how most of these Alaskans live.
Who wouldn't love to look at this scenery every day? And I thought my view was beautiful!
Not too shabby of a way to travel, huh? We had great seats - front of the first observation car on the train. It was great and we could see everything!
Andy wasn't crazy about the beer (I enjoyed it though), but more about the fact that it was the only time he's been able to ride a train while drinking!
Passing by a glacier on our ride
This was the view from the observation deck on the back of our car

Nanny is great at entertaining Kendall
Finally arrived in Seward!
Hoping to see more? Check out my next post for pics of our adventures while we were in Alaska.
