Wake-up: Transition to summer

I took TEB to Alaska a few weeks ago to see a season other than winter ;-) We had a really wonderful trip with my sister graduating from college, 18 hrs of sunlight, and celebrating the first week of summer with my 7 year old niece, MRC.

On one of those looong days (with plenty of sunlight) we drove to Denali National Park. The place was just waking up - the flora was starting to green and the fauna stretching their legs, and summer employees had arrived and were exploring the hiking trails, like we were. Since Fairbanks is only 2.5 hour drive north of the park it was the perfect day trip and we hiked until 11p before heading home.

More details on summer fun in the Fairbanks area coming up this week.
