Alaska and the WINNER

(photos by Anthony Grimes)

For Anthony's college graduation gift, my dad gave him a trip anywhere he'd like to go (for him & his girlfriend)
Although his girlfriend was hoping he'd pick Paris, Anthony chose to go to Alaska.
Anthony's passion is photography and an Alaska cruise was right up his alley. They actually went on the same cruise Kurt & I took a couple years ago.
They just got back last week and as I'm going through his photos, I hope one day we'll get to return...it's a beautiful place.
