We're in Missouri and it's HOT 8/25/11

Hi All - we arrived in Missouri on Sunday 8/21/11.  We spent 4 days with Christine and her family and now we have moved down to Boonville to spend some time with John and his bunch before moving on.  We've got a couple of Bluegrass Festivals we want to go to in September and a few doctors appoinments.  We should be heading towards Arizona the last week in September. 

Friday, August 19, 2011 - We're Leaving

Well today was our last day volunteering at Grand Portage National Monument.  We've had such a great time and we're sad to leave.  But we've got to get on to other things.  Sooo....tomorrow morning we'll be headed back to visit the kids for about a month.   Things have been pretty busy these past few weeks here at Grand Portage.  Last weekend was the Rendezvous and PowWow.  About 400 re-enactors were here.  All living the life of the 1790's fur trade era.  There were about 150 tents in the encampment.  The Pow Wow was just up the street and there was alot going on there too.  The highlight of the summer.
