Beards in Alaska (#27, #28, #47)
George and I just had the pleasure of spending a week in Anchorage, Alaska for the World Beard & Moustache Championships. The air was crisp, the scenery was breathtaking, and the beards were bountiful.
We have posted lots of pictures on Flickr and so has our friend Megan (who went with three other friends up to Denali for a few days while we partied in Anchorage, beard style). We'll probably add a few more as we finish organizing the crazy amount of photos we took as well as update LittleGeorge.com with lots of new fans with facial hair.
Some of the highlights of the trip included the WBMC 2009 competition, the Southcentral Alaska Beard & Moustache Club contest & party, disc (frisbee) golf, Portage Glacier tour, panning for gold at Crow Creek Mine, 18 hours of daylight everyday, and making so many new friends!
Here is a quick recap of our trip...

I can now officially cross off Alaska (#27) and the WBMC (#28) from my 101 list. I can also unexpectedly cross off getting new glasses (#47) because my previous pair broke in half the day before we left for Alaska. Luckily even Anchorage has Lenscrafters.
