People, this is hard

Well, not really, but sheesh, when one doesn't blog for 7 weeks, it's pretty hard to get back up and going. How should I do this? Do I go back and start from the beginning, June 3rd, when our bags were packed with clean clothes and we still showered regularly? Should I skip ahead to the night Craig sliced his finger and received six stitches (which I later removed at another campsite). I mean, I have to tell you all of the great things the kids said, right? Like how Grace told me she wants to do this every summer? Or how Julia regularly requested that we stay in a hotel or at a minimum eat in a restaurant (she clearly thinks her parents are less than civilized). I want to tell you all of those stories, or at least I hope I will, because, after all, this blog serves as my memory.

First things first though. At this very moment, my computer is siphoning digital images from Craig's computer so that I can FINALLY upload the rest of our trip. Last I checked I was on image #775, with a long way to go (and I haven't even emptied the latest from our camera). I can't tell our stories without images, so if you will bear with me, I'll get to posting the good stuff soon.

Happy to see you back in the blogosphere! Chris and I have been checking your Flickr account here and there and were happy to see new pics! Looks like an amazing trip. It motivates me to get out of our little town and explore our state's backyard more. Can't wait to hear details of your adventures. Did you keep a journal or anything while you were on the road? Anywhoo...glad you all are back safe and sound!
