This last weekend Gini, Shelley, Sarah, Devin and I drove to Fairbanks and back. This first night we drove to Willow and stayed at a public use cabin there. It was right on the edge of a frozen lake and we could see the mountains off in the distance. We saw a moose out on the lake and got to go sledding. Then the next day we packed up and drove 5 more hours to Fairbanks. There we stayed in a public use cabin about 30 miles south of Fairbanks. It was right on the edge of a frozen river. The second cabin was REALLY small. It was actually only supposed to sleep 3 people...but we all just piled in. :) While we were there we also went to the Chena Hot Springs. It was very cool to be in a natural hot springs pool with snow all around the edges of the pool. While there we also visited North Pole. There were still lots of things Christmas around. We took some pictures by the ice sculptures and ate at the Elf's Den (not the best food in the world). We had such a great time just seeing lots of moose, snowshoeing, sitting by the fire and playing card games (and doing lots of driving!!). We all got to know one another a little too really well :)

What a great time! The pictures are amazing! I love Gini's face in the jumping one. I'm so glad they got to come see you. I HAVE to get there!! Love you!
Love the pictures!! It looks like you all had a great, great time. I do have to ask .. why the Duke shirt? Does one of your sisters go there?!
Ginna, None of my family has gone to Duke...we have just all been Duke fans since before we can remember...I don't know why! :) We just are.
