We began our 2009 Trip West on April 3, 2009 - Back home again on July 29, 2009. We

count that as four months.

We were going to the Bernese Mountain Dog National Specialty in Portland Oregon.

Afterwards, a full month on and near the Oregon Coast and then a long meander back home.

When we put this together, we realized how many pictures we are missing - pictures of dear

friends and family and people we met along the way.  They are what made this trip truly

special.  We will try harder next time.
