Before arriving in Vancouver, Jesse and I spent two nights camping in Glacier National Park, which was epic and beautiful. On day one we arrived in the mid-afternoon and relaxed at our campsite. On day two in Glacier, we took a long hike (12 mi. round trip) into the park's interior. The views were amazing, and we were constantly frightened by large animal footprints in the snow. We did not run into any bears, moose or the like, nor did we smell them (Paula). And I wore my rain pants, not my moose pelt (Dan).
The next morning we woke up early and got on the road to Vancouver. We've been pretty good at checking our routes before leaving, but for some reason we thought Vancouver was closer. However, it ended up being a 700 mile drive that took about 14 hours. We drove on Rt. 3 from through B.C. all the way, which was one of the most scenic drives I've ever taken.
We're enjoying the comments, so keep them coming.
And by popular demand, some pictures from Glacier.

Un-frikken-believably beautious. How long did it take you to hike those 12 miles? Is the lesseps developing any bicep/tricep/pec/ab/quads?

The hike took a long time..roughly 5.5 hours. Though Lesseps has no visible muscle mass, I must say that he is a great hiker and often has to slow down for me. Go figure.
That Lesseps, takes after the wamu - muscle free but able to hike. Thanks for the Father's Day call, gentlemen. Off to Eire tomorrow - looking forward to seeing the Melon in person again.

Watch your awe-struck open mouths for small flying insects! It is that kind of country. Gotta love mountains, huh?? Impressive hiking, lads. You sure do have the "eye" for capturing the scenery.
My sister just got back from Glacier! I just now noticed your blog, looks like you guys are seeing and doing wonderful things. Enjoy the rest of the trip - see you in Brooklyn?
