We arrived in Golden desperately needing to do laundry, get online and find swimming pool. Althought the cabin we had reservations for had a sauna, steam room and hot tub on the deck, it had no laundry, internet access or lap swimming nearby. After a moment of panic, we soon realized we've been too obsessed with being productive, and we actually needed some down time. Luckily, fate forced us to slow down and enjoy the beautiful scenery (in smelly clothes:) Oh well, at least we kept the bears away. So basically the next two days we did nothing but read, play cards, admire the scenery and sit in the hot tub and sauna. It worked out perfect because those were the only 2 days it's really rained on our trip. Nothing better than enjoying those luxuries knowing you don't have to set up a tent:)

Hola!
What an amazing trip you two have had thus far! If the pics don't do it justice, then the beauty of it all must be overwhelming. I am now caught up on your travels and I am extremely jealous. I really enjoy reading your blog, it always cracks me up. I especially liked how sad Craig was when virtual Craig popped up on his screen and how Selah is the only one who cares if anything attacks you! Hope all is well with you and the poops! Jill
Hello from AZ
Wow, sounds like you guys are having a great time!!! Happy belated birthday to Craig! I'm jealous of the weather you have been having (it is currently 106 degrees here)...bla. I have been enjoying living vicariously through your travels. You guys going to be heading to Vail at all this ski season??? Have a good one!
Hi
I had so much fun hanging out with you two on virtual Tracy night. That was a really pretty picture you have of me. Not everyone can do that with their lips. Craig, yours was really pretty too. Not everyone can do that with their chin. so......
Oh, Zach has a message for you Craigy. He just saw the picture of virtual Craig and in the background he saw your car. He is wondering how you get into your rocket boxes when they are positioned to open towards each other. I bet you make Amy get things out of them just for fun! Anyways, your pictures are awesome. We envy your travels! Love you both!
T & Z
ps. this weekend is South Carolina bike race. Let's get together. We may have to put in a .69/minute phone call for this one!
Re: Hi
I know I told you this in my previous email, but if anyone else wanted to know, it opens both ways:)
Re: Hola!
I think virtual Craig is stalking us. He and his virtual friends keep appearing everywhere we go?:) Hey guess what i'm listening to at this very moment??? Doowhackadoo...Roger Miller. I have it on our Ipod and I also heard it today and I was doing our old school dance for Craig in the car!! I dare you to do it right now!!! Brentinion, Bucket, Deeks, Pearl and Calverson can do it too:) Hey all you naughty nieces and nephews...send us your favorite head shot and we'll have a virtual group portrait together somewhere cool in British Columbia. If anyone else reads this and wants to join in, go for it!!

Yo Cuz k-diddy-
Why don't you meet us in Vancouver for some sushi? Better yet, have the Steimle clan meet the Eckerstrom/Feely clan in Seattle for a fishing trip:) Well, I think it's time we bombard the Feely's with family chaos, don't you? We missed you at the reunion. Good thing Kenya was there to represent! Have fun Boiling in AZ and keep in touch.
