Please don't forget about this little site, there's a recap extravaganza on the way. Over forty days traveling and upwards of 2,000 pictures to sift through. It might take awhile, but you'll be able to read about and see it all here! http://www.fourbirdsflew.com/?p=131 We're sleeping in some random Iowa town tonight, exhausted after several hours in Chicago followed by even more hours on the road.

I'm a sucker for skylines like that, ... http://www.fourbirdsflew.com/?p=115 Pictures, pictures, pictures... click to see 'em!

After a night of Bingo and a bear sighting, I finally whittled the rest of our pictures down to ... http://www.fourbirdsflew.com/?p=41 If you ever come to Helen, Georgia on a Wednesday or Friday, no worries, you are covered.

The site finally exists, though painfully sparse. Our backlog of updates and photos will have to wait until we next have internet. Spent the weekend in Dallas with old friend Chelsea and new friend Jenny; leaving shortly for Florida. Tropical Storm / Hurricane Fay? We've got our eye on ... http://www.fourbirdsflew.com/?p=3
