Alaska Bound

We're really doing it! We're moving to Alaska. Yes, it's a little crazy. Yes, it's a really long drive. Yes, it does get cold there! No, we are not living in a place where we have to use an outhouse. It's definitely going to be quite an adventure, but you know, YOLO - you only live once. But, it is also bittersweet. We are definitely going to miss family, friends, and Aggieland. We're going to use this blog to post pictures and videos about everything we experience, though, so everyone can keep up with us and what we're doing. 

We've spent the last two weeks packing up our lives, selling our house, shipping our stuff across the country (including two weeks on the Pacific Ocean and Inside Passage), visiting with lots of family and friends, and filling up our new trailer for the 4,275 mile drive to the town of Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula, about three hours south of Anchorage. We'll officially live in the town of Kenai but work in Soldotna. Check it out on Google maps: Soldotna Map

A little about Soldotna -- the locals say it's a drinking town with a fishing problem.  It sits on the world famous Kenai River, known for it's King Salmon fishing. But there's also river rafting, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, snowshoeing, alpine skiing, and sipping on cold beers at the local microbreweries. Here's a video highlighting the town: My Soldotna video

We hit the road this Saturday and will be posting updates along the way, or at least when we hit a spot with Internet. Make sure to subscribe to the site, so you get notified when we post. Thanks and Gig'em!
