For my birthday some friends gave us a gift card to Alyeska Resort. It is located in Girdwood, about 45 minutes from Anchorage and is a world class ski resort in the winter and a mountain biking / hiking destination in the summer. At the resort they have a great 4 star hotel that we stayed at last Friday night. The hotel is really nice and the area around the hotel is just so beautiful. We hung out in our room, watched a movie and enjoyed an amazing dessert called a "Baked Alyeska" that is made with: milk, dark and white chocolate mousse, brownie, liquid chocolate center and Italian meringue and it was AMAZING!!
The following morning we spent some time walking around the property enjoying some morning coffee and the scenery.
It was a great little getaway that we both really enjoyed!
Here are some pictures:

(The view from our room. You can see the tram going up the mountain. At the top of the mountain there is a 5 Diamond restaurant that is one of the best in the state along with a museum, a cafeteria and some great views!!)

You two sure have a fun filled, adventurous life!
Thanks! We are certainly enjoying life VERY much right now! Also, part of living in Alaska is getting out and enjoying all that there is to do! There are hundreds of hiking trails, millions of lakes, tons of campgrounds and millions of un-spoiled acres of land and it just wouldn't feel right if we didn't get out and "take it all in". The people who love Alaska the most are the ones who get out and enjoy all that it has too offer, and we are glad to count ourselves in that group!!
