July Wedding

Following any good Bachelorette Party is a wedding of course, and what a beautiful day it was for Melissa and Tom to get married!


A reception was held at the Taste of Alaska Lodge where flowers were blooming, and people were soaking in the sun.



There was even a guest appearance by a moose. (No picture because, per usual, I didn't get my camera out in time.) I asked Melissa and Tom how much they paid that moose to come walking up to the reception, but they wouldn't tell me.

What wedding would be complete without dancing? Well, actually I guess that depends on your religion, but this wedding certainly wasn't one where you could keep your feet still!

Bachelorette Party!

Yup, it was a girl party at the Upper Chatnika campground to celebrate Melissa's last weekend as a single woman.

Fun, fun, fun!! We played a few games, which I won't go into detail about, nor should I probably share most of the pictures...


...the traditional Bridal Run that has become so famous among the bridal parties was performed, gifts were opened...

...and we just generally had a great time eating and hanging out until the wee hours of the morning.

You Know You're In Alaska When...

You know you’re in Alaska when the forecast for overnight is mostly sunny.

Truly, that's the forecast tonight. I can't make this stuff up, people.

Have a Safe and Happy Fourth!!
