"And to our right, you'll see a native Alaskan in his natural habitat." That's my favorite quote of the week, spoken by one of the Air Force guys we met at the retreat this weekend. It was -20 degrees and we passed by a man outside in nothing but jeans and a flannel. That's what I call acclimatizing. We city folk from middle Tennessee just don't see how 15 degrees is considered unseasonably warm.
Our week in Fairbanks has been eventful. Enjoy the pictures!
This is where we've been staying. It's so warm and cozy.
Okay, not really. We do stay in an actual house with actual heat.

This is THE place to stay if you're ever in the Fairbanks area. Next week, we'll be in the bush. I hope to see some moose!
