The Last Frontier

We're back from the McSparran wedding in Denver, 2 week vacation in Alaska and a weekend on the GA coast.  Blogging has been scarce the last month (although I doubt it's disappointed my tens of readers :) I'm actually trying to decide if I want to continue blogging or not.  I think it's been a good outlet for me, but at times I wonder if it acts as a substitute for actual, person-to-person contact.  I know I write things I might hesitate to say to certain readers in person sometimes--is that good or bad? 


Another aside is that it does make me feel a little self-centered.  Overall, our life is pretty normal and the things I write about are either updating people (who usually already know) about the goings on in Henricksen land, or are theological musings that perhaps would be better off in my journal and shared in person where appropriate. 

Anyway, no final decisions there, just thoughts. So forgive me if I take a hiatus for a bit to think it over. 

In the meantime, here's some photos from our spoiled month of vacation! 

Megan and I enjoy Ryan and Kelly's beautiful wedding in Denver. Below is a view of Denali from the Cesugi Ridge trail we did a 4-day, 28 mile stretch of. 

Because blogger is being really stupid, this picture isn't in the right place. This is Seward's marina. Not a backpacking stop :)  Oh well


Mom and I doing morning yoga. Our muscles needed it! And below is Wes and my parents trying to get the tents set up before the worst thunderstorm of our lives descended on us. Lightening probably merely feet from us!  Scary!

 
And at the end of those 28 miles, we were DIRTY! And blistered.

The second half of our trip, we went to Seward, AK on the coast. We camped, hiked and SAW WHALES! on our boat tour around the bay.

    2. I like your blog and you should keep it - even if it's just for me to read. :-)
