Where the Green Grass Grows: Oh, Canada!

Day 3
2 July

Tok, Alaska to Whitehorse, Canada
8 hrs 18 minutes 386 miles

This morning we got on the road around 9:30; later then I wanted to, but it's hard to get up, dressed and packed with 4 sleepy kids! We made our way across the Canadian border without a problem. We stopped at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign and tried to re-enact a the photo we took with the kids on the way up there 3 years ago. They enjoyed standing right over the border line and being "in two places at once"!

Soon after that we stopped at Buckshot Betty's in Beaver Creek for lunch. Thankfully we got there right before they closed and were able to get some food. I tried Gabe's Borscht soup (for the first time) and liked it! Of course the black forrest truffle was better, and since I couldn't decide on what to eat, that made for a yummy lunch ;)

We then made about a 3 hour drive and stopped at Kluane Lake; one of our favorite spots. Unfortunately the rain was rolling in so the pictures didn't do the crisp blue/turquoise lake justice. We let the kids get out and play in the water for a bit. It's such a beautiful lake!

After that pit stop we made about a 2.5 hr drive to Whitehorse where we found some food and checked into our room. Thankfully we have internet again tonight! The kids have been doing awesome in the car; they just have a lot of energy when we get to the hotel; hopefully we can find a park or somewhere they can burn off some energy soon.

Unfortunately, we didn't come across any wildlife, but did have some gorgeous scenery! Tomorrow is the sign post forest in Watson Lake!

I apologize as sone photos are taken through the windshield :p

Off to bed! Gnight!
