# A Celebration in Honor of the 49th State 

Janson Media today observes Alaska Day, a state observed holiday signifying the US acquisition of the 49th state on October 18, 1867. While it has one of the lowest populations in the country, Alaska has by far the largest land area of any state (equal to 1/5 the size of the rest of the country). By outsiders, little is known of the largest state including its vast natural resources, rugged beauty and massive fishing industry. Whether you're planning to take a vacation or just learn more about the culture and history of 'The Land of the Midnight Sun', the Janson Media DVD [*Travel with Kids: Alaska*](http://www.janson.com/dvdcatalog/2010/05/04/travel-with-kids-alaska/) (1 x 85') is a fun and informative place to start. Produced by Equator Creative Media, the DVD is adapted from a popular episode of its award-winning [*Travel with Kids*](../../rights/2009/06/25/travel-with-kids/) television series, filmed in High Definition.

Join the Roberts family as they explore the exciting wilds of Alaska in the award-winning *Travel With Kids* series. Alaska"s snow-covered scenery holds nature and adventure around every turn making for a fantastic family vacation. Come along as the Roberts explore the icy interior, known for its off-the-beaten-path quirkiness, the city of Anchorage with its museums and history and amazing outdoors on the Kenai Peninsula. Kayak Kachemak Bay, watch giant glaciers crash into the waters of Prince William Sound, go dog sledding, horseback riding and spot all kinds of animals...whales, moose, otters, eagles and more. Whether planning a trip or just dreaming *Travel With Kids Alaska* is great family fun!

Explore, relax, enjoy. Destination...Alaska.
