If I didn't do another thing for this occasion, this scene would have been enough to make me smile for a LONG time. We went to Rodizios Brazilian restraunt with Ranes, Heather, Braydon, Tyson, Kayleigh, Marty, Jen, Addison and Carter. We had a great meal complete with the Brazilian Band singing in their langauge, *Happy Birthday*.
Prior to that we went with Ranes and Family to the International Peace Gardens, incredibly beautiful, then Marty and family arrived, we went to Children's Museum, another total treat for a Grandma, and lastly to Build-a-Bear, where we got to see how Bears are built by children!
What a SUPERB Birthday Celebration!
A highlight of our vacation and a very spiritual time as we all went in to the Chapel of Transfiguration.....all sat down as they arrived, simply looking out the large window behind the alter, seeing a spetacular view of the Grand Tetons. Someone began to softly sing *Amaxing Grace*, another joined in and before the first verse ended, all were singing. It was such a peaceful time of communion with nature and man.
I can't even describe it with words, just look!
John and I took an organized vacation with the local TV newscaster, Art Myers and his wife DeeDee. It is advertised as such, so folks feel comfortable going as it is not only endorsed by the celebrity, but he and his wife were with us from start to finish.
We flew out of Tallahassee, landed in Chicago, visited Navy Pier~toured Chicago the next day then boarded an Amtrack train to ride up through Illinois, crossing the states below Canada to Montana where we began a bus tour down through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. It was a 10 day trip, included *Going to the Sun Road*, Glacier Mountains, Yellowstone Park, Old Faithful, and the watery trail that Lewis and Clark took through the mountains~ we saw what they saw~ it truly did appear that the mountains had a *Gateway* and opened up for the boat.
Our last stop was Salt Lake City where we got to spend some time with the Grandchildren.
It just doesn't get any better than that!!!
