Fairbanks Road Trip

This past weekend we took a quick road trip north to Fairbanks for a friend's wedding.  Friday, we drove up and it was cloudy and snowy.  However, that day and the whole trip it was "warm" for Fairbanks with highs of mid-20s and lows (overnight) only around -15!  Saturday through Monday were sunny and gorgeous.
We had a beautiful drive north on Fairbanks

The wedding itself was on Saturday and was beautiful.  The ceremony was amazing, not a dry eye in the church and the reception was fun (with great cake too)!  The few hours we spent celebrating this new family were well worth the trip.

The rest of the weekend, we just relaxed, hung out around Fairbanks and just rested.  It was a much needed "staycation."


Sunday, we drove just outside of Fox and got to check out the pipeline - and have some fun taking photos...

Our drive back home was also gorgeous!

We had tons of amazing views of Mt. McKinley on the drive home.
