Week 24


ALASKA!


Alaska has such beautiful scenery and we would spend our days hiking in the mountains and glaciers, and canoeing in the lakes, but we just couldn't miss seeing the spectacular aurora borealis at night!




There's such amazing wildlife to see too. We'd hope to see some whales while we were out on the water, some bears and caribou while we were out on the dog sled, and we'd love to soar with the bald eagles!




We'd try our hand at building an Inupiat Eskimo Igloo.




We'd feast on fresh seafood like these gorgeous Alaskan King Crabs!
