3700 miles, 60 hours of driving, in 15 days, from Seattle to Minnesota, back thru Glacier National Park for camping 3 days, then onto Eastern Washington for fishing for 5 days. The kids were great travelers (Thank God for DVD movie players!) and the fishing was absolutely great! Here are a few pics, enjoy.

Boxboy, its called "Saddle" and yes, it does look pinkish in pics, but not in person, strange isn't it?

Rosco, I missed the 262 flight?!

I can't make the airshow, too much on my plate this week end unfortunately.
Rod367th, no chit! Light until 10:30--11pm was cool!
Octavius, bald is beautiful!

Thanks all for the comments.

Any boat over 19 foot does not require life jackets be worn, only to be onboard. And, both can swim(They've been in swimming lessons since age 3). Our boat is 20 ft. 3 ".
