We're Back!

Just a quick update that we're back from Italy. We'll be posting pictures and other stuff once we're not so stinking tired. And if you want the Reader's Digest version, it was awesome.

Hiatus (Or, we'll be in Italy)

Shauna and I leave for Washington, DC tonight to visit her brother Bill, and then we're off to Italy! We'll be cut off from cell phone access and I don't fathom that there will be a lot of WiFi, so...

Shauna and I spent the weekend with my mom at Zion National Park for Mother's Day. The park more-or-less centers around the small town of Springdale just outside of the park's entrance. It's a very rural town split between touristy...
