Summer road trip & Camping

Camping
 
 
   A few pictures from our recent camping trip.  We drove down to Captain Cook state park down by Kenai, and stayed in the campground on the bluff overlooking the ocean.
 
Grace & Emilee on the beach

Emilee was our 'chef' - Banana pancakes for breakfast!
 
 
The beach was fun to explore

 Road trip


   We drove the loop up past Denali to Fairbanks, and then back down through Glenallen.  The weather was perfect.
 
Grace and the Susitna river
 
 
Our car at a rest stop by the Nenana river

Grace takes a break in downtown Fairbanks
 
 
So much for the view of the Chena river. 
Must be a good book . . . .

I love your blogspot and fascinating photos. I miss you all! Happy for you that you got to get away and enjoy the great outdoors of scenic Alaska and go on some beautiful hikes. We so wish we could have been to Grace and Emilee's graduations. We would have loved to see Emilee graduate with honors. A very big day for your family. Our granddaughters are so beautiful--inside and out! Love and hugs, M + G :)
