So we are settling in comfortably to Arizona life. Last night went to Olive Garden for the first time in 3 years. Went to Trader Joes after that. It's amazing to know how much stuff we were missing out on in Alaska. We are easing into the heat. So far it's been wonderful- never getting more than 90- which is perfect for me!
Our drive down went well. No flat tires. We did almost run out of gas once- but luckily had a 5 gallon gas can to refill enough to get us to the next town. We saw 12 Caribou, 2 goats, 8 Dall Sheep, 9 Bison, about 150 Deer, a Red Fox, and a Coyote. It was really neat. We did about 650 miles each day (averaging 11-13 drives each day). Stayed in Haines Junction, Fort Nelson, Edmonton (and went to Edmonton Mall), Spokane, Boise, and lastly Las Vegas. Got to see lots of family and a few friends along the way- which was great as it had been too long since I had been through Spokane!
Overall... I am happy the drive is over. I don't know how much more Baby Einstein I could take, although I must say if you have a little one- it's a life saver for long drives- as it takes their attention off of being stuck in their car seat. We are loving time with my family and I am preparing for my first in-person job interview for a local hospital in their surgery dept Tuesday.
Life is wonderful!

"How many miles did you say I was going to be in this seat?"
Banff, Alberta
One of my Spokane favorites... Greenbluff. They had a hay maze, sand box full of dried peas, a tractor ride taking you through the apple orchards, pumkin patches, a petting zoo, and as many apples as anyone could ever want to buy or eat! Kyson did not want to ever leave the pea box!
Visiting some family on my mom's side- two aunts, and uncle, sister, cousin, and my grandmother.
My friend Gen's son Wyatt and Kyson- only 4 months apart!
A really pretty lobby in some hotel in Vegas.
The Venetian Hotel in Vegas.
The Belagio Hotel in Vegas... Kyson (as well and Ken and I) loved the light/water show!
More of the Venetian with one sleepy baby.
