We are hoping to keep all of our friends and family updated through this blog, so please check back often!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;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&#8217;s family. We even had time to go shooting on the range with John and Kyle!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-47 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/journey2alaska.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/image1.jpg\" alt=\"image1\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image1.jpg 2448w, https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image1-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-48 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/journey2alaska.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/image2.jpg\" alt=\"image2\" width=\"299\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image2.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/taberobrien.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-34 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/journey2alaska.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_6880.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"IMG_6880\" width=\"537\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Friday night we had a wonderful family dinner with Andrea, Mike, Grandpa, and Amy.
