All along the trip there are galleries, historic sites, and natural wonders to visit. We love heading out. This year though we may fly out, because we just have two weeks, and it takes four days of driving to get there, and four back (especially if you're checking out the art along the way).

That is sooooooo on my list. I wish for you lots of lightning, too. Gay: I sure hope you give me a holler when you're headed to Denver. I think we need a pic with the angel snakes. Tammy: Goodness! You need to go to the mounds. I know what it's like, though, to live so close to something that you take it for granted. Jan: Was in Tacoma last year? Or the year before? Lovely museum. Kim: Sounds like a perfect trip for you. Did you go there just to see the work? Rachel: I’d be so jealous if you went to Marfa! That is sooooooo on my list. I wish for you lots of lightning, too.

By chance a St. Ives exhibition. There was a couple of paintings by Alfred Wallace (mariner and "primitive" painter) displayed along side some of some well known modern artist. I have been reading about Wallis for years and it was nice to finally see some of his work. It was a nice day so got into a lot of other fun stuff too.

I was very impressed with the art museum.

I wanted to go last summer, but it didn't happen. I <3 road trips, last year we wandered our way to the family homestead and back in the middle of june. It was nice.
