When I was stationed at Ft Wainwright for 3 yrs I would spend many hours out just sitting in car watching North Lights for hours, this was back in the mid to late 1970s!
I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright from 87 to 91. The first time I saw the northern lights was a very crazy night. The Armorer reported a bayonet was missing. The 1SG spent most of the night yelling, banging on doors, cursing. What he is going to do to who ever took it as such. I remember a few guys from 2nd Platoon locked themselves out of their room so one stood at parade rest while the other ran up and down the side walk doing pushups every time he came back. Their squad leader wasn't amused with them. finally around 4 AM we had a company formation. The 1SG was making statements not having anything to do with anything and we would say 'hooah' after each time and then in passing, he said the armorer miscounted and that every good infantryman learns to cope with 'things' like this, 'hooah' and we would say 'hooah'. and then he pointed up to the sky and said 'look there are the norther lights'. This was the first time I was them. A night I will never forget.
China is a favorite activity. I did in Alaska when I went to visit grandchildren I saw the northern lights I saw snow now I’m back in Hawaii and really wanna go back I love Alaska.❤oh yea they took me to the ice place
I am planning to take my youngest son to Chena Hot Springs around Christmas 2023 when he comes back home. He just left on deployment with the Marines today. Please be thankful to have your boys with you. They grow up so fast and then you can’t protect them anymore.
Thanks for the Northern lights.. what fun you had... so you!!

You were in the home town of Somers in Alaska. I wish y'all had met. They're great! Happy peoples is their motto.
Loved your video and seeing your trip with your sister. I wish I could go to the springs but am highly allergic to sulfur that I couldn't go near it. Looked so fun! Welcome back.

I can’t even fathom the beauty of the sky. I love spending time with my sister when I can. We are miles apart but that doesn’t stop us. Enjoy your togetherness
What a beautiful sight. Thank you for taking all of us. Glad you had a great trip.
Amazing,😊 thank you so much for sharing
We spent a week in Fairbanks last July. If you ever get a chance to go up during the summer, do the Discovery boat tour on the Chena River and go eat at the Pump House. It’s so funny that we hit every spot that you did on your visit, except for the ice obviously. Glad you had a great time with your sister and got to see the northern lights.
I would love to go back in summer. Thanks for watching!
That was beautiful
Thank you for sharing ❤
Looked like you guys had fun
That is a gorgeous gorgeous awesome light show. God is so good to us when he gets to show off His Creation. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure with all of us.
So fun to have time with your sister. My Elder was able to see the lights in Wasilla this last week so that was cool
They were AMAZING last week. I will show them in video very soon!
Hey I recently found your channel and I love it !!! I truly enjoy watching you and your precious family such wholesome videos, Im 52 years old and I live in South Carolina in the US, I was hoping you could recommend a great book for reading...may y'all have a blessed day
Very cool! Thank you.👍🏼😎
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🌸
My pleasure 😊
What a great getaway. Such a "cool" place to visit; so much to see and do. The Northern Lights we're gorgeous. It looked like the heated jacket was working; hope it kept you warm and toasty. Thanks for sharing your sister trip.
Wow amazing 🤩
Wow beautiful Love it♥️♥️♥️
You got to see the Northern Lights twice!! How fantastic are the photos, though, that the tour company took 👍 I loved Santa's house, never too old for a little Christmas magic. The ice carvings, even though incomplete just seeing how it's done, are amazing. I loved every single moment of this trip. ❤️
what a fantastic stuffs you have showed us about fairbanks and find really interesting and beautiful there.:: i came close of coming to fairbanks ways back in 2008 but i ended up getting sick and didn’t go to fairbanks from washington state.: so ill have another opportunity to do so soon to make trip to fairbanks one of my longtime goals
Absolutely amazing and beautiful, I could never handle the cold
Dressing right is key! Thanks for coming along virtually.
What s super few days, you had. And the best was seeing the beautiful Aurora Borealis! I love the Santa Clause House. We stopped there, after Delta Junction, coming in from the Yukon, heading towards Fairbanks on our 2nd visit, a bazillion years ago...when the Santa Clause house was smaller. Some year we will return! Thanks for taking us along. Vickie from SE Pa
Your pix are AWESOME of the northern lights‼️ Everything you did was FUN‼️ Thanks for taking us along‼️It was great you and your sis were able to get awa y and do this little trip together‼️ The ice sculptures were great too‼️ You really did a lot in a small amount of time👍
Thank you for taking us on your trip. So different than the California/Arizona desert.
I absolutely loved this. The Lights and Ice were spectacular. Thank you for sharing. I had a smile on the whole time.❤
Really beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes ❤
Aw, so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you Lauren,hope you told Santa we are all being good.
That was absolutely beautiful, the aurora's just amaze me.
I am in awe EVERY time I get to witness them! Thanks for watching!!
I know Santa also has a home in Finland, he probably needs both because he is such a busy person. The ice show looked like so much fun. Fabulous weekend.
Enjoyed the tour of the ice festival👍🏼😊
I really enjoyed seeing you & your Sister visit all these wonderful places. I loved every minute of it!
I'm so glad! Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Beautiful Northern Lights. That is #1 on My Bucket List but being handicapped now somewhat I doubt I will ever see them. I loved the Ice Sculptures. I have watched Somers in Alaska and Violet Logs for a long time. My husband and I took a cruise to Alaska years ago in September 2010 and I loved the clean air smell. The weather was beautiful. We went to Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway. Thank you for the showing the Chino Springs too.
wow those ice and snow sculptures were amazing! Thanks for taking us along Lauren always enjoy your videos about Alaska
Thank you so much for showing us this - what a special experience. Thanks for wearing different coloured hats, very difficult to tell you apart otherwise! What amazing carvings, absolutely wonderful, and such skills
Wicked!!!!
Amazing, right!
@@ThisAlaskaLife bucket list item for me.

The Northern Lights were spectacular! Looks like you both had a wonderful trip! Thanks for taking us along! The Ice Festival was very interesting, lots of work went into that!
Welcome home 🏠
That was a wonderful trip you shared, Lauren. My nephew is stationed up in the North Pole area and occasionally sends some northern lights photos. Those bowls and wooden designs were beautiful! I bet you were excited to return home to your boys!
Aww thanks for sharing your weekend. I loved it. It was something I will never experience, so again thankyou xx
What an awesome adventure thank you for taking me along
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful trip. Hopefully one day I will get to see the northern lights and see Alaska.
I hope so too!
Amazing. Was wanting to ask how was covid there as wondering if being away from people as such helped. Here in England was awful. But just wonder. Take care. Jo
That was an amazing getaway. Glad you had a great time. Thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
How wonderful ❤️ I really enjoyed the video's. My year has not been good, my mom passed away on January 4th and 3 weeks later Mt hubby 😢 was in the hospital for 16 days and now is home on comfort care. Your video's are a pick me up thank you and God bless 🙌 🙏
That was beautiful thank you for taking us along
You should have met the Somers Family, while there! I watch their channel too!! This makes me want to go back to Alaska! I want to see the Northern Lights so bad!!
I don't know Somers in Alaska, but I have met Bert's sister Jessica Violet. Maybe one day I will connect with Somers, I am not sure they know who I am. LOL

Really looked like a lot of fun. Great you got to get some adult time with your sister.
I thought you would have been at the Fur Rondi ? Watched some of it on and off.
Such a fun trip! So nice to have a great trip with your sister!
It was! Nice little break.
Glad you made it to the North Pole. Shame you couldn't get some warm tops from Melissa while there. They don't disappoint keeping you comfy in the cold temperatures.
Really enjoy the ice carvings and activities.
Just love the Alaskan Bowl Company. Sherry goes there and it's full of wonderful gifts.
I’ve ordered from her launch before!
Hi Lauren, this looked like an awesome trip, I enjoyed it, I hope you had a great trip with your sister. I hope you have a nice week. 😊
