Mom and Dad come to McKinley!

I am so happy that mom and dad got to come to Alaska to celebrate my 22nd birthday with me. It was such a good feeling to have them meet my coworkers and have them hear how everyone respects me and how my hard work is paying off.

We didn't do too much but they got to see a part of the mountain, spend time visiting Talkeetna and riding my bus. It was a real good time and I appreciate their willingness to come and support me here in Alaska doing something I truely love.

Making a birthday wish:)


The 20320 was so kind!


We we able to have Brad take us to WalMikes in Trapper Creek, Ak. They have all sorts of collectables and intersting items there. Mom and dad really liked viewing the antiques and rustling through the junk. He has some very controversial and interesting artifacts. It was my first time at WalMikes, so I had a good time as well:) Here are some pictures of our visit there.
