Loving the blog!
Hey guys ... your trip sounds awesome ... and has us starting our planning for next year. Great pictures ... love the camera Mark ... would love to play with one of those for sure. Laundry day here after a busy weekend ... Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert, Arizona statehood 100 year celebrations, golf and the International Hoop Dancing competition at the Heard Museum of Native American History with our trailer friends (formerly cruisers) who are staying close by. Off to San Diego to meet the newest grand baby this weekend coming. Keep posting the blog and pics, Jeanne and Dave
