WE ARE BACK ONLINE!

Hello family and friends!  We are finally back online.  We started the second leg of our journey heading north to Wyoming on June 10th.  We have had a great couple weeks with some mishaps and little to no service...no wifi for sure!  Julie's iPhone has been in and out but that is about it!

Let me first just give you all a quick recap....we spent 69 days on the road driving over 11000 miles around the east coast.  We visited family and friends, stayed in state parks, national parks, beaches, mountains, went caving, hiking, kayaking, biking, met some really cool people, discovered new places to return to and had to drive by others....we had a great time!  I know I got very far behind in the Blog.   Just to give you a feel for what we did here is an literary (* some of our favorites):

Sorry for all the missed stories, highlight and lowlights....if I could go back and write about it all then I would,  but given we are currently in Montana it seems like it is all too late.  Someday we can share stories with you all!

Look for more updates on the West Coast soon!
