Uffda, it’s been a busy week! Tonight Ken and I fly through the night to Anchorage, Alaska, to celebrate my cousin Julie and her husband John recently tying the knot! And while we’re at it, we plan to also celebrate the 4th of July with family and explore America’s last frontier–we’re going whale watching!
It’s our first time up there, so if you have a favorite restaurant, brewery, hiking trail or local shop, please let us know–we’d more than love your suggestion!
And with the 4th of July just 2 days away, here are three star-spangled links to get you party ready:
- The House That Lars Built has some pretty rad handmade projects to help make your Holiday a festive one! Especially the American Flag Bunting and the Picnic Blanket.
- This gorgeous and simple angel food cake from A Beautiful Mess would make a great addition to any Independence Day spread.
- I’m loving this 4th of July outdoor bar + white sangria recipe from Everyday Occasions!
