On Our Way

Well, the car is packed (mostly) and our lists are checked (almost all) so I guess that means it is time to start this adventure!  I very happily took my last final at 1pm on Wednesday, finished some sewing projects, and headed home.  Michael moved the last load from his apartment and got his AC fixed (I think we'll appreciate it come August) on the way to meet me.  We spent the last few days organizing, packing, playing with Denali, and cooking with all the amenities.  It'll be to bed early tonight so we can hit the road tomorrow morning and celebrate Father's Day with Michael's family.  It is a bit sad and surreal to be leaving after so much anticipation.  A part of us would be content to spend the summer in New England gardening, cooking, and laughing at Denali's antics, however, my dad dug out the slide projector and we looked through the slides of his 1968 trip to Teton National Park.  Wow.  There is nothing like pictures of those mountains to get us excited.  I wish I could post some of the pictures here, but we don't have them scanned to file.  So, this time next week we will be star-gazing in the Badlands.  We cannot wait to start sharing pictures with you all.
