Left Coast Mom is on Vacation

Lots of travel over the past month and now we're off to Wyoming!

We'll be gone until Monday night, so probably no posts until Tuesday.

Some of those to come:

• BlogHer wrap up
• Couple of product reviews and a pinkey swear that they're not compensated (apparently, the FCC is trying to get in on the action).
• Possibly a Dammit, since I haven't done one of those in awhile.
• Perhaps an anti-Dammit, because I don't want you to think I'm always angry!
• More Hannah-isms, and perhaps a couple of Charlotte-isms--she's getting pretty sassy, too. It
• It's probably a good thing that we still can't understand all of what she says.

See you in a week-ish!

Glacier National Park in Summer

Until I'm feeling more like myself, I thought I'd share a few of the photos from our road trip last summer.

Thomas and the girls walking up the glacier at Logan Pass:





Wildlife in the parking lot:


The reason it looks so close isn't because the zoom on my camera is working better, but because I took the photo from the door of the minivan. Into which I leapt to avoid the horns.

Time to Think About Other Things

Between Argus dying, my mother dying five days later, the school year starting, work, the election and pretending to work on my book, I never got around to posting any photos from our trip to Canada this summer. This is one of my favorites--Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta.

And Now, A Time Out From Politics

Thomas and the girls and I went on a little road trip this summer up into Canada. A few other things got in the way, so I haven't posted the photos yet, but I keep going back to this very short video of a stream on the Athabasca Glacier, part of the Columbia Icefield. It just makes all of the messiness of life seem so very far away.

Don't watch if running water makes you have to pee!

And One of These Days . . .

I'm going to be able to do a few posts--With Photos!--on our vacation. Sadly there's obviously a lot more caca going on. But soon. I promise.
