last bit of oregon and our alaska arrival

sliding
lake oswego to visit the williams
they took us for a boat ride
photogenic us
in front of our new house
(HA!  one can dream, right?)
then it was off to the last frontier, a.k.a. alaska
(excuse the picture quality - i took my smaller camera on this stroll)
see the eagle?
she was gathering grass from the marsh to build a nest
our first little hike
we armed ourselves with a rifle (thanks, dennis) and bear spray and kept our eyes WIDE open
the ascent
a walk in the clouds
descending
can't you just imagine seeing a bear out here?
i could.

Oh my goodness, I am so jealous of this trip. How freakin' beautiful! And your new Alaska house looks an awful lot like the house in "The Proposal." How lucky that you get to be neighbors with Ryan Reynolds :).

Oh Like, what a fun trip. I wish I could've gone with you. I need some pine tree smelling, mountain biking, fresh mountain air action.
