Past the halfway point

Shay here, from a hotel room in Missoula, MT. We are relaxing in relative luxury for a night before heading up to Glacier tomorrow. We have to drop the dogs off for a stay at a kennel, since they are not allowed in the park. They are not excited about it, as is evidenced by the fact that they are both pouting on the hotel room floor. I think they can smell the bath water coming, kind of like how you can smell a big storm blowing in on the wind. Sorry we haven't been keeping up with the blog. It's been great getting to see family and friends for the past few weeks, but it doesn't give us much time to log in and upload pics and stuff. And then there was the little mishap with the windshield and a rock - which resulted in a wasted day in Portland waiting for the new windshield to get installed. Okay, not a wasted day entirely - we did get some laundry done while we were hanging out. This delay caused us to miss our ferry to Vashon Island in Tacoma, so our plans got rearranged a bit and we ended up just driving up into the Cascades and spending the night in a great campground called Wish-Poosh, on Cle Elum Lake. It was beautiful, if a little mosquito-ey (is that a word?) and we had a nice relaxing afternoon and evening there before driving across WA and Idaho to end up in Missoula tonight. So that's the news. I'm going to attempt to put some pics up while I have the use of the hotel's free wireless so you can all see some of what we've been up to. Take care y'all! Oh, by the way, I was playing with the fun photo shop on my computer and did some modifications to a few of the pics. Hope you like them.
