Warning: We Brag About Alaska. A Lot.
Welcome to Simply Alaskan Sisters.
Before you do some digging on our website,
allow us to give you a fair warning:
We are 'Wild About Alaska' – a lot.
Beyond the diverse terrain of open spaces, the mountains and the forests, the wildlife, and the many outdoor activities that make our state a perfect place for visitors to explore, Alaska is our little paradise. It’s our haven. It’s our home. If you’d ask us, we wouldn’t trade it for any place in the world.
Eight stars of gold on a field of blue,
Alaska's flag, may it mean to you,
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes and the flowers nearby,
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams,
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear," the "Dipper," and shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
O'er land and sea a beacon bright,
Alaska's flag to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
Warning: We Brag About Alaska. A Lot.
