Alaska Is...

      Alaska is a planet in space, one to visit by all for sight and scene and everything in between, from the birds to the whales and the little plankton too.  They all live here with one another.  Some travel far to see this state, others like us took a plane.  But there are others much more quiet than the others. 
            If you look out you will find mountains and trees and the sea.  From the fjords to the streams, they’re all dreams to me.  But to see them first-hand you will never forget.  You will remember what Alaska is.

Final Reflections

This trip was a lot of fun.  We’ve done a lot of things.  We’ve climbed mountains and gone on beautiful trails up mountains and through forests.  We have been through many museums, such as the Pratt.  In the Pratt Museum I learned many things, such as the fact that a plankton can’t navigate.  It just goes with the current.  On the top of Mt. Healy you could see everything, even that horrible hotel on the nice side of the mountain.  Seaside Farm is a really nice place to stay.  You can play all the time and it’s fun to go down to the beach, gather driftwood, and throw stones to see how far you can throw them.  Just going up and down the trails is fun.  There is a goose there missing half of his top bill.  Just being up here is the best.  To see birds, moose, wolves, and all sorts of things has got to be what is the best thing about Alaska.
