Ha...I have to tell you, when we first moved here, Jeff worked for the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation. He got a call one day from a woman who wanted to come visit Alaska from "the lower 48." She asked alot of questions, and then asked about whether she could spend US currency here. Well, of course you can since we are actually one of the 50 US states.
But, we do things differently here, that's for sure. We can actually go visit Santa at his house (see my post from June 2009), Easter egg hunts are really hard outside since there's still snow on the ground, and fireworks on the 4th of July are REALLY hard when the sun hasn't gone down. Sooooo, we have fireworks at midnight. And even then, the night sky isn't totally dark. Fireworks just aren't very spectacular in Alaska...even at midnight.
