Last post about Fairbanks

Just for the sake of not being a quitter let's have a final post about our trip to Fairbanks.
It was cold. 
The End. 

Okay, before "The End", Scott thought it would be cool to drive out to see the Alaskan Pipeline. 

I thought it would not be cool. 

So he went by himself at 6 AM, while the rest of us slept. 
Aren't I the BEST wife?
Probably not, but I'm glad he got a picture. 

Our drive back to Anchorage was eventful and complete eye candy. 

We happened upon this lovely (and wild) herd of caribou just outside of Denali National Park:

It was just a gorgeous day filled with breathtaking views:


And to top it all off the majesty herself made an appearance. 
Denali:

(or Mt. Mckinley as all of you "none" Alaskans would say)

No where I ever live will be as beautiful as this place. 
I feel so grateful to be here now. At this moment. In my home. With my fighting children. 
Because let's face it, no matter where we are they will always be fighting so it may as well be beautiful outside.

So when are you guys going to start packing? I know July is far off...that's when we moved last year! I think I started packing in March. I was pretty excited about moving though!
