Great Granddaughter

A couple of weeks ago I went to Alaska to visit my great granddaughter and meet my 2 new granddaughters-in-law (or is it granddaughter-in-laws?). Anyway, I had the privilege of meeting Samantha (grandson Josh's wife and mother of Angel - the great granddaughter or GGD) and Leona (grandson Matt's wife). Of course I got to see my daughter, Pam, and her husband, Daryl too.

Now I have visited Alaska 5 times since Pam & Daryl moved there in 1992, but this had to be the best weather I've ever seen there. I even saw Denali (Mt McKinley to some - but not most Alaskans) in all its grandeur. This 20,320 foot mountain is considered to be the highest in the world. What about Mount Everest at 29,000? Well it is the vertical relief of 18,000 feet that gives Denali that distinction. The picture above was taken from the Talkeetna Lodge which is about 60 or 70 miles from the mountain (the way the crow flys).

In spite of Denali's beauty and magnificence - it paled in comparison to Angel (the GGD). I present the picture above as evidence! Of course I could be prejudice. Great Grandfathers are allowed to brag a little - aren't they? For more pictures of my trip to Alaska visit 'My Webpage' and/or 'My Pictures' shown under "Cool Links"
