We've returned from 8 days of vacation, still a little tired from travel, but happy from having a good change of scenery and pace. Some highlights of the trip:

• Seeing lots of family, and spending time with our friends, Paul, Shannon, Elizabeth and Brett.
• Taking a road trip to Troy, Montana. This was Paul's idea, in his quest to find out if the Troy HS mascot is the Trojan (it is). The drive was gorgeous, and we visited Hope, Idaho, where Shannon's mom grew up, on the way back.
• Lots of swimming, and days hot enough to make the cold lake water feel good!

Here are a few favorite pictures -
