WOW! What a great trip! Looks like you had a blast and Andlie is, of course, always darling. I hope she behaved like a little angel for you on the plane! Wish us luck in our travels next week!

BRIAN! You should have called Aaron while you were there. We go to Cannon Beach every once in a while for family reunions. We love it there! Looks like you had fun.
