On June 29 mom and dad came up to Alaska to see more than just Nome. For about 10 years they have enjoyed traveling to Nome during vacations and occasionally seeing bits of Alaska here and there, but this time we spent a whole week outside of Nome first.
What does one do? For sure, you have to see the market downtown Anchorage that goes on in the summer, the largest outdoor market around. You also need to get your photo taken at every available place.
Next our journey took us to Whittier for a glacier cruise. After traveling the 2.5 miles through the tunnel, we arrived in Whittier, a windy yet quaint little town. We boarded our "all you can eat prime rib and salmon" cruise ship. We saw beautiful scenery along the way.
We spent the night in Girdwood and enjoyed the sights of both Aleskya and The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Society. Not to mention a delicious meal at the Double Musky before heading back to Anchorage. 
Views from the top, don't forget your fleece for summer in Alaska!
We ended our journey at the Pioneer Ridge B & B in Wasilla for Amy and Andy's wedding. It was great! I would recommend it to anyone who wanted a beautiful and relaxing spot to spend the night, weekend, or week. 
Thank you Amy and Andy for this "destination" wedding spot! We enjoyed our time.
