Jupiter & Venus
On our second night of Aurora hunting (with no such luck), we did get a pretty awesome view of Jupiter and Venus!

Aurora Borealis
I finally saw the Northern Lights last night, and they were even more amazing that I had imagined!
They were so strong we first saw them from our backyard when we were letting Willow outside before bed.
Karl was nice enough to hop in the car with me and head outside of Anchorage where it was a bit darker.
To finish out the evening, a mama moose and her baby walked within feet of our car before we headed back home!
