And we're off!

For some reason I can't recall, I've felt a serious kinship and obsession with Alaska (see also Maine, Italy, and Everest). So I was flabbergasted when H told me that his family's next vacation would be to this vast state. I mean, did his step-mom really understand how I pined for Alaska, that it's on my Top 5 place to visit list, and that I consume all Alaska-based shows on Netflix? No, she probably didn't. It was a perfect coincidence, but H was pretty stoked to watch my face when he broke the news.This trip has been 2 years in the making. I am beyond grateful to be part of such a giving and adventurous family. We've jokingly used the hashtag #myfamilyvacationsharderthanyours if that's an indication for what I'm in for haha.We fly today and our adventure begins in Anchorage. After that, it's a whirlwind, dream itinerary trip. I'm not sure how much I'll be posting but watch my SIL's blog Attention to Balance (where she's already posted the agenda) and my Instagram for when I feel like sharing... but really, I just want to be in the moment, soaking in this magical time in a magical place.
