Family Vacation and Anniversary Celebration in Alaska - Day 1

The Pergande crew was ready for a much needed vacation after having to cancel our spring break this year during Ron's cancer treatment. We were ready to celebrate Ron's end of treatment, Mom and Dad's anniversary, and check out a couple more of National Parks. We chose Alaska. It's a hard place to get to and it's an awesome time of year with literally 24 hours of sunlight.

Our adventured started on June 26th with arrival in Anchorage. After picking up our car for the week, we started our first night with halibut and chips at Humpy's Great Alaskan Ale House.





The next day we stopped by the famous Alaska Wildberry Company to see the world's largest chocolate fall, buy some souveniers and made a quick trip to the Anchorage overlook at Flat Top Mountain (where Canyon took some crazy panoramics).




We then headed to Denali National Park, where we will spend the next 3 days and hope to see Denali. We checked into Denali Cabins, our home for the next few days and then headed to the National Park for a little exploration.
