After a great time in Nugget City Thursday night, we drove most of the day on Friday to reach Haines Junction, Yukon Territory. It\u2019s a quiet little town with great mountain views. We lucked out again on another awesome place to stay – the Parkside Inn which had mountain views on the doorstep!<\/p>\n

We headed out early Saturday morning to reach U.S. Customs just after lunch, and arrived in Tok, Alaska in the late afternoon. Woohoo, we made it!!<\/p>\n

After over a week on the road, we finally reached the Alaska state line!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We checked into a hotel and\u00a0had some great pizza at Fast Eddy\u2019s, which we learned is a highly recommended place in the state.<\/p>\n

Sunday was our last day of driving and we finally reached Anchorage in the afternoon!\u00a0There were some spectacular views along the way, and we even passed a glacier that is only a 2 hour drive from the city.<\/p>\n

We checked into our Air BnB place for the week (a great apartment not far from downtown!) and we\u2019ve spent the last 24 hours looking for housing. It has certainly been a long road trip – but we finally reached our destination after 11 days, more than 5,600 miles, and over 240 gallons of gas. More importantly, there were so many incredible stops along the way and now we have a whole new state to explore!! We’ll be getting settled in over the next few weeks, but I hope to continue to update this blog on occasion as a way to share our adventures with\u00a0family and friends.<\/p>\n

Thanks for following along – cheers to adventure!!<\/p>\n
