Alaska State Fair - Points of Interest - Alaska Vacation - My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!

Points of Interest

They do everything big in Alaska! We saw a 73-lb. cabbage ("Bruce" was his name) and a 1019-lb. pumpkin (a new state record), among all sorts of other fun things.
