Wow Jayne - what a fantastic trip - you are a lucky lucky girl. I have decided that next summer I will do something similar - i will spend 3 or 4 weeks back in Montana and Wyoming - just me and the kids - doing whatever comes to mind. This summer I did not get enough time with family and friends back home!
Sounds like a whirlwind! Glad you are back! i missed you. ;-)
