Blog Love: Alaska Eats Hikes Adventures
One of my favorite things about blogging is meeting new people who share similar interests. So, imagine my excitement when I heard from Andy (that’s her in the picture, along with her pup, Sadie), over at Alaska Eats, Hikes, Adventures.

I missed it then (the blessing and the curse of First Friday is that there is SO much to see and do!) but fortunately it’s up until the end of the month.
