Happy Birthday, Jason! We first brought you to Alaska when you were a curious young boy, with your little sister Michelle five years behind you. Now we find ourselves here again — surrounded by glaciers, mountains, and that wild northern magic — and it brings back the warmth of those early family adventures.
In honor of your birthday, we’re sharing a photo essay — favorite moments from your life’s journey. These snapshots beautifully mirror our shared history and the deep joy we feel watching you grow.
You’ve become a traveling man in your own right — thoughtful, well-read, a lover of the world’s flavors and stories. And whether you’re traveling with both of us, just one of us, or charting your own course, we’re always grateful for every shared mile, every conversation, every laugh. Let the pictures do the telling. This one’s for you.
With all our love,
Mom & Dad
