Theme: Far Away Places Day 61

2008.03.19
Word splash of what Alaska makes me think about.

I didn't really have anything to photograph for Alaska, so I had to improvise;-)

So far in my life I haven't been able to travel out of the states, and my dream destination is another state:-)

It has always been my dream to visit Alaska. I have always said that when I retire, I'm not moving to Florida like so many around here do. I'm retiring and moving to Alaska:-) It must be that my ancestors are from colder areas, because I detest heat. I can imagine myself living in a log cabin with with snow outside my window and watching a humpback whale burst through the water from my oceanside view.

Well, even if I never live there, I do dream of visiting some day:-)

Til tomorrow,
Julie

PaperWings Cool idea!! You and Kevin should take a cruise around Alaska for your next wedding anniversary!!

oldbabe Good luck on your dream of getting there. I have a friend who lives there. She moved there from IA after she married. She has sent me pictures and the scenery from her backyard was very beautiful...but it's not all snow and ice like you would think (or at least how I imagined it to be).

I'm the opposite...I hate cold, cold weather. Lived in FL for a while and didn't like hot all the time either. Guess I'm just hard to please.

Lindyart I LOVE LOVE your word splash ..gives me so many ideas for my journal... I love your creativity..I am with you..I'd retire up north or at least to the mountains here instead of where there is alot of heat .. you must have humidity like us and if I remember there like I think I do it was a quite humid summer we visited .. great set Julie :)

Queen911 Is that your vision board?? Nice interpretation of the theme. I know several people that made the trip, and loved every moment of it.

Peche Your creativity is a destination in itself, Julie - what a great way to communicate your love and desire to visit and maybe even live somewhere :)
On a more juvenile note, I just want to eat the M&M's!! hehehe

LotoFoto Ok, these are cute ;)
I've been dying to visit Alaska... if I ever take a cruise (never really wanted to take a cruise), it would be an Alaskan cruise... with a glass-ceiling train ride thru the Kodiak countryside as an add-on.
Hubby says, 'no thanks'. Maybe we shoudl go! lol
