Grand Teton National Park: Jackson Lake Lodge Area

We took a break after a day of kayaking the beautiful Snake River and visited one of our favorite watering holes, the gorgeous Jackson Lake Lodge. Fabulous views and interesting travelers, including a couple we had met some years earlier at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon!

Summer Days in Santa Fe

Summer Days in Santa Fe
=========================================
Whew! This has been a year for being on the road with lots of trips back and forth between Santa Fe and TX!

Insert Costa Rica for 5.5 wks!

Back on the road to Santa Fe.

Insert trip out West. From Santa Fe to San Francisco Bay Area and back.

Insert trip for Laura's Dad's 90th and wedding, driving all the way to Smith Point on Galveston Bay and back. Hundreds and hundreds of miles.

Finally tired of traveling!

Nice to be back in Santa Fe for a month, back in our exercise class and riding our bikes! Whew!

Kayak and More shop in Morro Bay

Kayak and More shop in Morro Bay

After closing down the coffee shop next door using their free wi fi, Robert asked the proprietor of Kayak and More about a kayak trailer. It was 5:00 on Mother's Day and he was closing. He invited us in anyway and proceeded to answer our questions about the various kayak trolleys/trailers he stocked.

We bought one from him and he helped up assemble it!

Stop in a take a look at all the fabulous boats, paddles, and other accessories he stocks.
