Wow, what a super fun trip! I am so jealous. And what's more, all day on a bike and you still manage to look fabulous!

Thank you Denise and Andrea!

Denise, the Grand Canyon is beautiful! I have only been once and would love to go back, and especially to do one of the hikes/horse rides down into the canyon. I hope you're able to make that trip, I'm sure you'd have a blast!

Andrea, thanks ^^ I will admit it gets harder to look good the longer the trip goes on, hehe!

Such glorious pics, and you manage to look amazing! So well put together and stylish, given the serious constraints you are dealing with.

Thanks Jonesy I think this is another good example of how packing your closet with things that fit and flatter is so important! With less flattering items, I would look frumpy in a heartbeat.

Beautiful! It's fun seeing some of our stomping grounds, like Snoqualmie Pass that we just went across a few days ago, and the Palouse.... hubby and I both graduated from WSU in Pullman.

The button down shirts look great, but how did you deal with wrinkles?

And I can't believe no one else commented (that I saw) on your hubby's new hair! Or lack there of. He looks great with short hair. Is it ok to say that?? LOL I just remember all of your pics with his longer hair and was having trouble finding him in some of the pics until I saw one with the both of you.

*giggle* I was surprised no one commented on my husband's hair either, Brenda! He cut it off a day or two before we left and went from having the longest hair to the shortest! For some reason, hair dressers always cut his bangs super short and blunt which I don't think flatter his face shape; this one did a fantastic job with the cut, it's probably the best short hair cut I've seen him in. Glad you like it too

As for wrinkles, I made sure to fold carefully when packing so that the clothes could flatten out some of the wrinkles, but really... everything just got super wrinkly. So I just rolled with it, not much else I could do

I camp quite a bit from spring to fall and always felt frumpy and uncomfortable until I discovered button up shirts, preferably with the roll-up tabs. They keep me cool and protected even on hot days and can be worn multiple days without washing because they seem to stay fresher than knit shirts. Plus you can layer them so much easier. It's fun to hear and see someone else have the same discovery!
