Fairbanks, AK!

My Dad came to visit us for a weekend near the end of June (right before we moved)and took us to Fairbanks! The drive took many hours, but it was worth it! We saw spectacular scenery along the way- especially as we passed Denali National Park, wandered around the city of Talkeetna, rode a train to an old gold mine and learned the addictive and fun art of gold panning, stopped in at the North Pole and saw AMAZING, beautiful Christmas decorations (but we missed seeing Santa!), rode on a riverboat and saw an Iditarod sled dog team and visited a native Alaskan indian village, and had an old-fashioned picture taken of us in a park! It was a lot of fun and a nice farewell to the Last Frontier!
