HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALASKA!


(photo-Erik Hill)

Our Big.Wild.Alaska has been celebrating it's 50th year of statehood this weekend. We braved the -6 temp last night and headed downtown for the awesome fireworks display-billed as the biggest in Alaska's history. And amazing it was! A constant litany of firey percussive blasts of color eminating from the roof tops of 3 different buildings downtown! (Better than Disney!!!!). It was like seeing a string of finalies!
