My bestest friend, Katherine, was in Alaska for the month of June. It was the perfect welcome home present for me since it had been two years since we saw each other! It was also the reason why you didn't see me on the blog for a month straight :) Katherine has been my best friend since the third grade when we rocked the leggings with stirrups, puffy-painted keds, and in our spare time liked to trade our collection of Lisa Frank stickers. Yes, we were awesome.
Fast-forward 20 years, and although we still like to rock the leggings (minus stirrups), I'm happy to say we've moved on from Lisa Frank. While she was in Alaska, we spent every day together. Whether it was hiking, running, walking our dogs, shopping, or just talking, it was such a fun month.

It is only accessible by a 60 mile dirt road that follows the path of the historic Copper River & Northwestern Railroad. The road is full of bumps, potholes, and loose gravel, so what should take less than an hour ended up taking about 2.5 hours!
When we got to the end of the road, we enjoyed our beautiful campsite next to the river.
In case you've ever wondered what 2AM in June looks like in Alaska....
Diego held up like a champ and walked the whole 5 miles! Not bad for a 3 month old pup!
Here are some pictures of Kennecott!
We enjoyed our camping adventure which involved lots of campfires, eating, drinking wine, and laughing. If that's not what summer is about, then I don't know what is.
I already miss her like crazy, but hopefully we'll be going to visit her in France next spring. Until then... Bon Voyage!
