We're alive!

We're back! Ok, I'm a bit late in starting back to the blog, but missing three days of work means it takes most of the week to catch up.

The drive wasn't actually too bad, since we avoided Iowa (with their low speed limit) and instead ran right up the side of S. Dakota and N. Dakota before driving through corn country in northern Minnesota. Pretty uneventful.

It was great to see everyone -- the nieces are great, it's fun to be able to talk to everyone, the food at the resort was terrific, and we pretty much did nothing but eat, nap, and talk. My kind of vacation!
