He quit after one stop?! Wimp!

Great shots Lizzy! Really really love your shots of the hippo and patrick, and that grizzly!

Yay shots of family that I never get to see :D

Looks like you all had an awesome drive and survived the dreaded "car vacations"

Welcome to Boulder indeed!

love these, too. you guys are so cute.

how exciting! I can't wait to hear all about CO and how different it is. all the little things. write about them all, one day they all seem normal.

the grizzly is terrific. Nice job of 1 picture per state. The kids are the best though. Glad for good weather, and shortly I hope to come and visit the "new home".
