Wildlife and the Alaskan Highway

I only have a short post today as we had a great day driving without many mishaps. We actually were able to make it further than we had originally planned as we have still been blessed with clear roads. We saw so much wildlife today on either side of the road. There were countless bucks and does, 2 moose and even a little mink scurrying around. Thankfully, they all stayed off to the sides and none made any mad dashes in front of us! We also officially made it onto the "Alaskan Highway." Mile 0 officially starts in a small town in British Columbia called Dawson Creek, and I was incredibly disappointed not to run into Pacey or Joey (I realize that only some of you will get my lame joke, but it had to be done). The temperatures aren't so bad, but the wind is horrible, and I hate wind! It really makes the cold cut right through you. John finally decided to "take a break" and let me drive. Of course, he spent roughly an hour and at least 15 min. of the finally 2 hour drive turned around backward trying to figure out what it is that the kids want, or handing things to them. I also heard a few sighs that I think might have been directed towards my driving, or maybe I was just imagining them (yeah right lol). In all honesty, we really are having a fantastic journey with the kids and each other up to this point. It really has been nothing but enjoyable and we're hopeful that the next 5 or 6 days continue that way. Hard to believe that we are only halfway through this trek! We had a really early night tonight and are looking forward to what tomorrow holds. We are hoping for the weather to stay on our side as we really are making great time with all of the clear roads.
