During our first week in Alaska, we all packed into Adam and Andrea's minivan and drove up to Denali National Park. Denali is the native Alaskan's name for Mount McKinley. As you can see, we got excellent views of Mount McKinley on our drive up before we got to the National Pak. On our one full day in the park, we took a nine-hour bus ride on a school bus. We had a very entertaining bus driver who gave us lots of time to stop and see animals such as eagles, mountain sheep, bears, caribou, and moose. However, we never did see Mount McKinley on that ride and it was a long ride for a baby and a toddler. All in all, it was a spectacular, but long day. For Bonnie, Allison and I, it ended well. We went to one of the best restaurants we have been to in years: 229 Parks, which is about five miles south of the entrance to Denali National Park. We were then going to take care of Chloe and Owen while Adam and Andrea went to the restaurant, but we were too late. They'll have to try it later.
