Land of the Midnight Sun

One of Alaska’s nicknames (at least in summertime) is land of the midnight sun.  They aren’t kidding.  The sun is still shining at midnight.  We’re less than two weeks after the summer solstice which has the longest daylight of the year.  Here in Alaska, it’s about 19-20 hours of daylight.  Our flight into Anchorage landed at 10:15pm and you would have thought it was still middle of the afternoon given how much daylight there was.  Luckily for us, we have blackout curtains.  We’re going to need them.
