We are back...actually we have been for a few weeks.

Life has been busy, I apologize about the delay in posts alerting all loyal readers that we made it home safely. Here are the key points from the last few weeks:

1. Flying through Heathrow after the terror warnings was not much of a pain. However, once the plane left the gate we had to wait for 3 hours before the US feds would clear the plane for takeoff. I think this was a mind game played by the feds. The extra 3 hours makes a 9 hour flight very long.

2. The customs guys in Seattle allowed me to bring back a bunch of wine without paying any duty. Maybe they new about the 3 hour delay?

3. Charlotte missed her connection to Jackson in Denver, found a hotel at 12am, slept until 5, got on a plane at 7, landed in Jackson at 10, went to her first day of work at 12.

4. Bradley went back to Seattle and tied up loose ends and watched the movers packup all of our boxes.

5. Bradley took his Subaru to get a 90,000 mile tuneup at Chaplins in Bellevue and they forgot to refill the transmission fluid before taking the car for a test drive. They dealership had to drive to Portland on Thursday night to pickup parts to rebuild the gearbox. The car was ready on Friday at 4:30pm.

6. Bradley left Seattle on Friday at 5pm and made it to Jackson the following Monday.

7. The movers unloaded the boxes in Seattle on Friday. We are now all moved in and unpacked.

8. The last week has been busy with logistics. Purchasing furniture, office supplies, setting up an LLC, drivers license, PO Box, bank accounts, change of address forms, unpacking, unpacking.

9. Burrito wave is still in on the snake. A good 3-4 foot wave/hole with 3 feet of pile on top. Makes for good kayak surfing.

10. We celebrated labor day by hiking the Stewarts Draw in Grand Teton National Park. The draw ends at 9,200 feet directly below Buck Mountain. 4.5 miles & 3,000 vertical feet - 5 miles from our house. Welcome back to Jackson.
