Mommy & Micah's Roadtrip to Alaska

Well, Micah and I decided to go to Alaska for the summer. We will be staying in Bethel, Alaska (yes, literally out in the middle of no where) with my parents and working all summer. First we are stopping in Boise and Rexburg, Idaho to see Kyle and his family then off to Alaska!

Entering Idaho....and Micah in the back seat!

Here is Kyle & Micah watching one of their favorite shows, (can you guess which cartoon it is) while Kyle was doing some homework. He will be a good Dad someday.

Micah has been very blessed to have such great male role models in his life. Words cannot express the love and appreciation I have for Kyle and his relationship with Micah. It has been fun to watch Micah come to respect a man so much.

5/6/2007 Great Falls, Montana. I went and visited Kyle and his family for a minute and now I am in Great Falls, Montana getting ready to cross the border into crazy Canada in the morning. I have about 4 days left of driving if I keep going at my current rate. It is taking forever and Micah is tired of his car seat already. I should just turn back and spend the summer with Kyle and his fun and awesome family.

Days Inn, Great Falls, Montana....headed out to Edmonton, AB Canada

5/7/07 Edmonton, Alberta Canada. We stayed at the Super 8 ($143.00) are theses people serious? I think that is a lot for one room. We are driving 11 hours tomorrow so that is going to be one heck of a long trip. I think we can watch Shrek 2 about 7 times in 11 hours.

5/8/07 Fort Neslon, British Columbia Canada. Today was a long long long drive. We are on the Alaska Highway now. Tomorrow night I will be in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and then Tok Alaska on Thursday Night. Friday night I will be in Wasilla Alaska....home sweet home. This is a little crazy though I must say. I was driving tonight and kept thinking to myself...Tayva are you serious this is crazy what were you thinking!!! Next time I will be flying for sure. I am staying in the Mini Prince Motel here in Fort Nelson. It is small and cozy....but Alaska roughing it kind of cozy.

5/9/07 Haines Junction, British Columbia Canada. I made it a little farther than I thought I would. Plus I looked up things on the map and I can make it all the way to Wasilla, Alaska tomorrow! I stayed at the Kluane Park Inn. There were about 20 rooms. The rooms didn’t have a phone, clock or internet. I guess things are very limited there in Haines Junction.

5/10/07 I am here! I arrived tonight at 6pm Alaska time. It was a long drive but I have a lot of fun pictures and when it was all over I asked Micah if he had fun....he said yes so I am hoping he hasn't been traumatized by 10 hrs a day in the car...lol. Well, thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers while I was driving. I really appreciate it! I think for the trip back if I can't talk Kyle into coming and saving me and drive back with me then I will be putting the Jeep on the ferry.

We finally made it. I can't tell you how excited I was to see the American border and this sign!!
