On Sunday night before Labor Day Jen and I pulled what we thought was a "college type" prank. All summer long I've wanted to do something to end up in "The Blotter" of the Skagway News. There were a couple of considerations though - it had to be something was fun, not destructive or disrespectful, and not against the law. Brooke, our silent partner in crime came up with the idea of decorating the "Centennial Statue" - Jen and I thought it was a great idea so we set about collecting some "Aloha" decorations. Once we had the goods we went in the dark of night (rain too) and decorated the statues. The sign said "Aloha Summer 2014 - Thanks for the Memories" The next morning we expected to find the decorations taken down, when instead we found people posing by the statues for photos, and enjoying the farewell to summer. For me it was bittersweet - it signals the end of my summer and the end of my time here in Skagway. It has been a magical summer - one shared with good friends in a place more beautiful than words.
