As I recently mentioned in a blog post, we went to Alaska a week ago for a vacation. Katie has never been, and we wanted to be sure to go while we are still in Seattle and relatively close. For this trip, we decided to try renting an RV, since it seemed like the best way to be able to get around and see lots of different things without having to a) find lodging each night or b) pitch a tent each night. We liked the idea of the convenience of having everything with you all the time and not having to pack and unpack every day as we moved around.
