The toughest part of moving up to Alaska is having such a great distance between us and our daughters. While modern communications mitigate some of that, allowing us to speak with (and even see) them regularly, such technology is a pale substitute to having them actually with us. Thus, this break has been a real treat in that we were able to have both of them, as well as Peter, with us. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Katrina and Peter today as they headed back to Michigan. Their trip felt all too short, but I'm glad for the time that we've had. Thankfully, Alex is still with us for the next week.
Although we didn't go on any sightseeing trips, we have spent time together enjoying each other's company. There has been a great deal of baking, sledding, MarioKart, movie watching, puzzle-making, game-playing, eating, hugging, and conversation this past week and a half. It has been a week and a half filled with pleasant moments and memories.
I hope they have a safe trip back, and I already look forward to the next time that they visit.
