Reno to Alaska

Hello! from our final destination: Anchorage. After 10 days of travel from Reno to Alaska we have arrived at our new house. We have actually been here for about 3 days now. We got in late on Friday after a frenzied dash to be done with driving. The trip was fun but we were excited to be out of the car. The last two days of driving took us past some of the biggest most spectacular mountains i have seen along side flowing glacial valleys. This weekend we have been busy painting the living room so that it is not so dark and drab. Until we have finished painting we have not moved anything in.

This is the front of the house from the street. It is a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a fairly large kitchen, a garage, and a yard for a future dog.
