Coming Home

We love visiting family in Minnesota. Every one we know from this neck of the woods seems especially friendly, and our kids a ton of fun with there midwestern cousins. We left Yellowstone a day early (at the kids' urging) to make sure we had time to see every one, but we would have preferred even more time.
Olympic fever seems to be everywhere, and it's been fun watching bits and pieces of the competition. The majority of our trip has been TV/Internet-free. We're thinking about hitting a sports pub on the way home so we dont' miss the Friday night action. :)
We've got 1100 miles between us and home. At this point in a vacation, I'm usually lamenting the trip home. In this case, however, I think we're ready to return. My coworkers assume me things are in good shape at the office (although at least one of them is an avid poker player...) The kids have a week before school starts, and Madi's favorite horses probably have a nicker or two waiting for her.
We're thinking about hitting Maine and the North East next year if any wants to join in. :)
