We are heading to ALASKA!!



We are headed to ALASKA!!
What does it take to take a family of 4 to Alaska?  A ton of planning, lots of shopping on Amazon Prime (I’m sure my mail lady thinks I’m crazy!) and a little bit (or some nights a lot o bit) of wine 😊   Sounds like a math problem, 4 people, 8 places to stay, packing for 4 seasons (including rain and snow!), while keeping everyone's bag under 50 pounds!



We are almost on Doug’s 2nd Sabbatical, a mandatory month off from work.  This is a great perk to his job as a Partner at Plante Moran.  Last time we took  the kiddos Outwest in an RV, they boys were so little (6 and 7)!! Now heading to Alaska we will celebrate 3 birthdays in Alaska Doug (49), Sam (14) and Jake (13).

Assuming all our luggage fits on the plane (and in our rental car), we are leaving on July 1st.  Last Sabbatical we blogged our adventure along the way and it was a great way to preserve the memories of the trip.  We are hoping to do the same this time assuming we have cell service or wifi connectivity.  So stay tuned, beautiful pictures to come and I am sure some misadventures along the way!

PS - A huge shoutout to my Aunt Jackie who is staying with our fur babies Rocky and Mr. Kitty at our house - we can't thank you enough!!
