Trip to Alaska

Well it's about time I blogged about the best trip ever. After all, it was the BEST TRIP EVER. Alaska is absolutely unique in it's natural beauty. The thing that surprised me the most was how many different natural beings co-exist. In Juneau, which is a tiny town and an island, you'll see huge, snowy mountain peaks, the ocean, glaciers and ice fields, and a lush rain forest. All this within a few miles. How is that possible? It's amazing. Here are a few of my favorite scenic pictures:









I felt so refreshed being in Alaska. Being around so much natural beauty eased my soul. I live in Dallas, ya know, the "Concrete Jungle". When I was flying back home, I looked out the plane window and thought in disgust, "Oh gosh. I live in the ugliest city ever." Flat, few trees and tons of concrete. Blech. Returning was difficult, to say the least.

Along with all the wonderful nature I saw and experienced, I had so much fun with Angie. We laughed so hard we cried, we drank Alaskan beer, we ate amazing food, went ziplining through the rain forest, and just generally enjoyed each others company. Here are some pics of me and my Riz:








It was one of those magical weeks where I was very outgoing and open; which is my favorite version of me. In turn, I felt like I never met a stranger. I befriended Angie's friends easily, and met several new friends on my own. The people make the trip right? And this trip was no exception. Here are some of my favorite new peeps:








That about wraps up Alaska. Of course there are so many specific details that I could go into about the trip, but this is all I'd like to share. I have no doubt I'll be going back to see and experience more...and sooner than later, for sure.
