TP: To the cabin. Safari Lake. New Year's Eve.
SP: Up to the cabin, yeah. That's when all the family gets together and lots of our neighbors from Wasilla, we all pack up the trailers—the snow machine trailers—and head on up about 70 miles north so we can ring in the new year out in the snow, in the great outdoors, and under the Northern Lights. It's been an absolute beautiful night each night we've been out there.
Have you traveled with the kids anywhere in the lower 48?
SP: Yes. Many, many, many times. Yes. Yes. We go to Hawaii often. That's a good trip for Alaskans because it's a direct flight down there. We've been to California quite a few times. Washington State quite a few times to see relatives.
TP: We enjoy our road trips –
SP: We LOVE road trips.
TP: – driving from Alaska to the lower 48.
SP: Our son a few years ago was playing hockey in Minnesota, and we missed him so much that we jumped in one of our four-door trucks and drove from Alaska to Minnesota so that we could see him for a few hours. It also gave us a good excuse to travel that part of the country with the girls also.
How long a drive is that? A week?
SP: Not the way Todd drives. And Todd never sleeps!
Will everyone move to Washington if you win?
SP: Well, Bristol will be starting her own family and Track will be [with the Army] still fighting the war, but the little kids and Todd and I will.
