Tim and I spent the last week visiting with family and friends before starting our road trip to Alaska! Early tomorrow morning, we’ll be leaving from NJ to embark on our 2 week long drive to Anchorage. We’re really excited for the journey, and looking forward to experiencing all that the 49th state has to offer. We are hoping to keep all of our friends and family updated through this blog, so please check back often!
It’s been such a fun (and busy!) week. After packing up our place in North Conway on Thursday, we headed south to Goffstown to spend time with Tim’s family. We even had time to go shooting on the range with John and Kyle!
On Friday night we had a wonderful family dinner with Andrea, Mike, Grandpa, and Amy. The following morning, we said our goodbyes to Tim’s family and met friends Matt, Jill, and John for breakfast in Manchester. The reality of the move was setting in! Our first stop on the way to NJ was in Troy, NY to meet up with the one and only Mike Kyle!
Once we arrived to NJ Saturday evening, we visited with my mom and sister in Montclair. On Sunday morning, we saw my grandparents as well as Uncle Tom, Aunt Julianne, and cousins Daniel and Emily. Sunday night, we stayed with my Aunt Kathy in Blairstown and saw everyone on my dad’s side of the family.
After a final round of packing, itinerary planning, and a great dinner with Aunt Kathy, Uncle Paul, my mom, and my sister, we will be on our way early tomorrow morning. First stop: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore!
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful week of visits. We will miss you all dearly, but we are so excited for what lies ahead!
When you get here, if you come in through Tok, you can’t go wrong with a burger at Fast Eddies. Once you are in Anchorage, you’ll kick yourself if you miss out on pizza from the Moose’s Tooth! Safe travels.
Awesome, thanks for the advice!!
