If the rest stop views are this nice…
… what are they like at the National/State Parks?!
I don’t think the time we’re here will allow me to find out, so I grateful to see what I can!
Yesterday we left Sterling and went to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. It was interesting, but I was really disappointed they didn’t have a dedicated otter exhibit/tank. Sadness.
Seward sits on Resurrection Bay, and the area around the center was really neat!

One of the funny things to me about this trip is that I’m here with someone I went to high school with – someone who graduated in my class! He and my older brother became very close after graduation and he was one of the groomsmen in the wedding! Too funny. He’s someone I really like and enjoy being around, so, yay!
Now we’re at the rental house outside of Anchorage for a few days. The view is just as gorgeous as the vrbo showed, and the house is great!
Not so great? My sleep. We’re staying up so late because we’re doing so much, and because it’s so confusing about what time it is with the sun out all the time. I am going to be exhausted when I get home!

Could it be any more beautiful!? I don’t think so!
What an amazing state. I am going to have to get to Alaska one of these days!
Definitely do!
Oh my gosh, it is so beautiful. These pictures definitely move Alaska up on my travel bucket list. And it is worth being exhausted over right?
It is TOTALLY worth being this tired. Thankfully I took a bit of time off in the morning when I come back to sleep in!
It is on my bucket list and now I am wanting to bump it up a couple of years. I have loved reading/seeing your posts recently!! Gorgeous!!!!
You will need a recovery vaca day when you get home…
Oh my, it is stunning!! More pics anytime 🙂
Wow! Amazing pics! Gorgeous scenery and those skies… I can’t wait to hear more about that moose encounter…
Oh my goodness, everything looks so beautiful there! What an awesome trip!
Sounds like you are having an amazing time – can’t wait for a full report! Enjoy all of the awesome trails there – and the wildlife, of course.
Oh my GOSH. When can I move to Alaska??? That is mindblowingly beautiful.
Wow, Alaska is so beautiful! What a cool trip. Did you get to see any otters, even if they weren’t in a dedicated tank?
Only the two in an outdoor tank outside of the Sealife Center. My brother saw two seals outside the center though, in the bay!
