I am home! It's always kinda depressing and surreal coming home after a fun vacation. We did see Denali though, yay! As we were driving by I Googled Ruth Glacier (why not lol. How did my phone get service in the mountains??), and was surprised when I read that the famous explorer Frederick Cook named it after one of his daughters! I'm sure I read that before when reading about Ruth Glacier, but it hadn't meant anything to me. I don't know a lot about Cook because I don't care for him and the whole "who made it to the North Pole first?" controversy between him and Peary..I hadn't known he explored around Denali!

I don't think I'll be able to identify all the glaciers in my pictures, but I'll try. The forest ranger guide told everyone more than once how lucky we were to have such nice weather (it rains a LOT down there), and that we'd get to see absolutely EVERYTHING. Thrilling words!! I probably took too many pics, but it's hard not to :P

lots of glaciers :P )

I hope I'm not too tired at work tomorrow :P

22. What Was Your Favourite Fairy Tale or Nursery Rhyme? Hmmm..I'm not sure actually. Maybe "Rock a Bye Baby"? (Why on earth is a baby in a treetop though?? And why are we singing about babies falling out of trees?? So messed up LOL)
