My Alaskan Escapade (with a little bit of Canada thrown in)
Typically my blog is about writing and literature. But today, I’m going to step away from those to give you a taste of my recent trip to Alaska and Vancouver. I went on a trip with a couple of family members to celebrate my big milestone birthday which occurred this past week.

It was so gorgeous in fact that even as a VERY green photographer, I was able to capture some great pictures. Hope you enjoy!
