Because of all the events that were planned for the week of the wedding, we decided not to take Avery and Zachary with us. They stayed with Sara's folks for almost 5 full days; a gift for which we will always be grateful.
We were lucky to be able to use saved frequent flyer miles to get free first class tickets for the trip. After three years of being parents it was truly wonderful to have an extended vacation to an exotic destination and flying first class was icing on the cake.
These two photos are of giant glaciers, taken out the airplane window on our flights to and from Anchorage. In the first, you can see the peak of Canada's highest mountain, Mt. Logan. The second one we saw about 15 minutes after departure. If you look closely you can see a cruise ship in the water off the face of the glacier. In the picture looks like they are only 1/2 an inch apart, but the mouth of the glacier is more than a mile wide!
