When I think of a summer vacation I automatically think of sun and palm trees, but last summer my family and I traded in our bathing suits and flip flops for winter coats and boots. Yup, thats right. My family and I vacationed in Alaska in the middle of the summer. This might not be a typical sumer vacation, but let me tell you why it was one of the BEST trips I have ever taken.
My 19 family members and I (yes I said 19) took a week cruise that took us to three different Alaska locations. We made our way to Juneau, Tracy’s Arm, and Skagway, which were three of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Growing up in New Jersey, I really appreciated the snowcapped mountains, refreshingly clear water, and the crisp cool air that Alaska offered.
While we were there we explored massive glaciers, gorgeous waterfalls, played with sled puppies, ate fresh delicious salmon and halibut, and created memories that will last a lifetime. To me, all trips are special no matter where you go or who your with. Every trip is its own adventure, but this trip is one of my absolute favorites because it was the trip of a lifetime with my entire family.
I will never forget the beautiful scenery that I was not just able to just see, but experience. Pictures do not do America’s last frontier justice and so if given the opportunity, I would definitely recommend planning a trip to see Alaska.
