Photos By Heidi

I have finally put the finishing touches on my blog with some updated pictures from Stehekin and some pictures of cute little Sayla :-) www.photosbyheidibozard.blogspot.com. I will put it on the side with other links and do my very best to keep it updated this year as I take more photos. Please pass along the link to others and leave comments if you have trouble viewing the photos. I did a little html work on the site and I am of cousre still working on my skills in that department. Hope your enjoy!

Numbers

I thought I would share a few numbers from our trip to give you a little entertainment for the day. We are currently at my mom's house and the plan for the day is a little bit of unpacking and reorganizing all the STUFF we have in our truck. Of course, if one has ever seen Steven pack a car, you may already know that is a very slow and meticulous process. Well I am learning today that the unpacking part is about the same :-) So, I thought I would post a little while he unpacks a little. I am guessing I will have time to post all things from our trip, finish updating my photo blog (will add a link here soon), and create an information letter for holiday photo sessions. WoW...sounds too productive to me so I might have to spend some of my time in the pasture with my horse Sam :-) Anyway...back to some numbers from our trip...
3466 - # of miles we drove
3 - lbs of peanut M&Ms we ate (Thank you Katie!)
210 - gallons of gas our truck consumed
2.55 - average price per gallon.....much, much, much cheaper than our trip from East to West
6 - fast food places we visited
15 - number of times we heard the song "15" by Taylor Swift on the radio
1 - night in a hotel
5 - new toys Steven would like to purchase within the next 6 months that I was priveleged to hear about at least 12 times :-) - gun, truck, boat, jeep, & dog....who needs a house right?
13 - states we have been in within the past 7 days - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina (ok...I know we aren't there yet, but will be soon!)
2 - average cups of coffee Steven drank each morning
4 - days we ate sandwiches for lunch
Okay....I think that is all for now...might add some later but I must assist with the unpacking I have decided if we are going to get it completed today!

Conetoe, North Carolina

Well...we made it!! All the way to NC and arrived tonight around 7:30 Eastern time to my mom's farm. The trip went well with nice weather (except for snow in Texas...when does it snow there?) and some wind in Oklahoma. I will post some photos later and a few "funnies" from the trip...just wanted to let our Stehekin friends know we are home and miss them already!

Cortez, Colorado

Travel time is going well for us! The weather has been great and we spent the morning in Arches National Park outside of Moab, Utah. All the other places we wanted to stop didn't work out...we would arrive just as the places were closing for the day. Camping has been our choice for accommodations, but not for tonight as we couldn't find any campgrounds! We drive around for 30 minutes outside of Mesa Verde (a National Park we will visit in the morning) and every campground was closed. It is also snowing a little so we are fine with a hotel :-) A nice cozy one for an affordable price! Just wanted to give an update since we have Wi-Fi here. Should be home in a few days!
