Ken's parents, Bob & Jan, liked Alaska so much that they decided to come
back up for a second visit. Below are over 100 thumbnails and when you
click on them, voila, they get bigger. There is also a link to a video
at the bottom. It is a tad on the big side so I hope your computer has a
lot of power. |
