On the Road to Alaska

Just after Memorial Day 2008, we set out on a transcontinental trek from Virginia to Alaska, embarking on our tenth move in 13 years.

Prelude: Family Reunion

We began our journey down in Texas, where Craig attended a month-long professional development course while Laura helped her folks prepare to host their long-awaited family reunion.

Chapter 1: North by Northwest

The first part of our journey took us though Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.

Chapter 2: O Canada!

Our first-ever venture into Canada led us through Alberta, over the Rockies, and across British Columbia to the Pacific.

Chapter 3: Into Alaska

We finished our journey with a cruise along Alaska’s “Inside Passage”, then two more days on the road driving along the legendary ALCAN Highway.
