Merry Christmas!

 Hoping everyone has a merry Christmas!  Here is our card from this year:

A little bit more about the pictures.  In April we traveled to New York to see another total eclipse.  As part of the trip we spent a few days in Cooperstown and visited the Baseball Hall of Fame.  I got to see the San Diego Chicken!  In May we enjoyed a lovely lunch and tour at Prince Michel with my mom and kids.  The remainder of the pictures are from our anniversary trip in September, which we dubbed the Idaho Circumnavigation Tour.  We flew to Salt Lake City and stayed overnight.  The next day we drove east of the city to explore and ended up taking a tour of Olympic Park in Park City.  Next we drove west past the Great Salt Lake into Nevada to spend a night.  From there we drove north through Nevada (aka the surface of the moon) to Ontario, Oregon, to spend another night.  The next day we headed for Idaho where we took in various sights in Twin Falls (the falls and Evel Knievel's ramp) before heading to Spokane, Washington.  In Spokane we walked around Riverfront Park and ate lunch.  Kanoa had visited this same park during a family trip to Idaho in elementary school and had fond memories of the Loof Carrousel.  We continued on to Bonners Ferry, Idaho, to visit Kanoa's cousins for a couple of days.  We had dinner with them the first night and stayed overnight in the Northside School Bed & Breakfast, a former school converted into a wonderful B&B.  After a delicious breakfast the next morning we met up with Kanoa's cousins to have lunch and hike to a few scenic locations.  Following that we headed out to cross the border into Canada.  We stayed for a few nights at Copper Point Resort in Invermere, British Columbia.  While there we enjoyed obligatory Tim Horton's and traveled to Banff in Alberta (background picture as well as bottom center).  Following a relaxing few days we drove south to Waterton Lakes for one night.  In the morning we headed back across the border with Glacier National Park in Montana as our destination.  We experienced the scenic drive through the park along the Going-to-the-Sun Road.  After exiting the park, we traveled through a lot of great scenery and interesting towns to our overnight stop in Missoula, Montana.  The next morning we got up to finish our last leg of the trip back to Salt Lake City.  We spent one more night there and flew home the next day.
