When we got back, we'd need another vacation to rest up. So we've decided to take the $325.00 and probably go somewhere and stay for two weeks of rest and relaxation.

I honestly feel a bit relieved to know the Yellowstone project is off - it had been secretly troubling me for a week. This is less glamorous but more sensible and will do us a world of good.
