06-06-09

Last July, when we were on vacation, we dropped the Moovin' Moose travel bug into a cache machine in North Dakota, with the goal of him making his way back to Longview.

It took almost a year, but today we retrieved Moovin' Moose from a cache across town! He traveled 11,652 miles on his journey, so his route was quite circuitous. He went through New York City, Salt Lake City, and Mexico, neither of which we encountered on our drive to the Dakotas. He also spent time in the Tetons, which sounds more like our trip.

I'm holding the cache, Xander is holding the travel bug, and Anastasia has a photo montage that someone created of his travels.

Our other travels today took us to a baby shower (Bruce had all the baby food flavors figured out pronto), Xander's last soccer game (they dominated and Xander scored a goal), and Relay for Life BBQ (dill salmon, yum!).
