We spontaneously booked a vacation to Alaska for September to see all the beautiful scenery and hopefully catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights! Our flight arrived in Fairbanks at 9:30 pm and we grabbed our rental car, checked into the Airbnb, and grabbed a drink at a local bar before deciding to hunt down the Northern Lights. We picked one of the few highways in Alaska that led north and drove for over an hour in the pitch black through a forest until we found them! We pulled over and parked, laid down in the bed of the truck and admired the Aurora Polaris and starry sky. Dakoda then hopped out of the truck bed and grabbed his camera bag from the back seat. I thought he was going to capture the beauty we were seeing, but to my surprise he pulled out a ring box and got down on one knee!
