Today my aunt and I did some hiking.

We drove to Girdwood, AK and hiked the Winner Creek trail.

This is one my favorite hikes in Alaska (that I’ve done) because of the old-growth forest!
(Click here for a recap of a previous hike to Winner Creek I did last summer.)

I love the lush green colors and abundance of trees.

This waterfall is absolutely gorgeous.

Truly blue water like I’ve never seen before.


My aunt Sue.

We had a great time hiking! I love how peaceful it is and refreshed I feel afterward.

The best part of my day though was being reunited with this goofball—my husband!!

I have not seen my husband for 3 weeks!! I spent 2+ weeks in Minnesota, and then Craig was out of town for a few days when I returned. It feels so good to have him back in my life!

After dinner tonight, we went to our favorite dessert place in Anchorage: Sugarspoon.

We frequent this place often for their amazing desserts!!
I had a Strawberry Poppyseed Cupcake.

Craig ordered the Strawberry Mousse with Lemon Curd.

And Sue had a piece of Raspberry Cream Pie.

All were incredibly delicious! Although Craig’s was my favorite!
Time to hit the hay. I haven’t been sleeping well this week, so hopefully I can get some good, uninterrupted sleep tonight!
