Yo -- Wizard/Steve -- refer back to thread suggesting a honeymoon in France! Hint, hint, hint....

Well dear, you've got about a bazillion air miles. Make it happen.

Great pictures and it looks like you all had an enjoyable time! Thanks for sharing them!

For the Tartan, I am wearing an "old and rare" Culloden muted Tartan.

Best,

Robert

Beautiful pictures, Robert. One of these days....

Hopefully the Saltair will be able to make it to Colorado some day. All of its travels have somehow managed to miss all of us here.

"Muted" tartan? I wonder what the non-muted version looks like!

Either way, it's a neat looking tartan!

Thanks for the link on the statue as well!
