There are not enough words to describe how special this experience was with my dad this summer. I look back through these pictures often and want them to have a permanent spot here.
I had never been to Alaska before, and when he invited me earlier this year, I jumped at the chance. I don’t consider myself a fisherman, so I wasn’t sure what to expect on a fishing trip, I just knew I couldn’t pass up this one-on-one time with him in one of his favorite places on earth.
Oh my goodness, did this place exceed anything I could have imagined. It’s like being on a different planet. And I actually fell in love with the fishing! We visited multiple lakes and rivers, saw wildlife everywhere, ate like kings, played cards, watched old westerns, explored the Kenai Peninsula and slept just a little bit (that midnight sun is no joke). We came home with 150 pounds of salmon between the two of us, so we are definitely well-stocked.
Thank you, Dad, for the trip of a lifetime, and the best daddy-daughter date a girl could ask for. Until next time, Alaska! I’ll definitely be back.
