okay, well the trip blog did not work out.  I found that I did not want to spend the time on the computer that is required to blog, so I updated facebook instead.  The trip was fantastic, and now I have the daunting task of scrapbooking over 500 photos that I took!  Since I am in Montana, I have plenty of time to get started.  Love summers off!!!
Anyway, I'll post as I complete stuff, and hope to get some pics from the trip up here soon, too.
