This weekend, we were visited by my amazing brother and sister-in-law. Roger and Kim Yadon were stopping through on their way back from a visit to Kim's family in Sacramento.
Living in Interior Alaska (Fairbanks), visiting the sunny state of California is a true welcome relief. There are few things that Alaskans enjoy more than blue skies and warm breezes.
However, if one can't seem to get away to the "lower 48", the next best thing is listening to the tales and stories of those who have returned from their voyage South. Sharing their experiences, news of friends and family, and stories of life in another world, Roger and Kim brought us with them on their venture.
We traveled to Sacramento and enjoyed warm laughs with Kim's family, we jaunted off to San Francisco to visit Roger's old roommate, Brian LePort, and we traveled back again on a crowded plane, late into the night.
This sharing of stories is what bonds us all together. We can't all escape when we need to get away, but we can grasp ahold of the rejuvenation and hope that others bring back with them. Through this, we all become connected and whole.
Thank you, Roger and Kim for sharing your trip with us. It was almost as good as the real thing.
