We recently returned from our family trip to Craig, Colorado. I was checking out a potential job there. Flying 2000 miles across the country with 3 kids is a little like doing a medical residency with 3 kids. The sweet moments become a little sweeter and the rough moments become a little rougher. All in all, they did pretty good. It's kind of nice when it's job interview time. All of the sudden, employers are willing to fit the bill for your travel. We took advantage and had them buy a seat for Luke. It worked like a charm. We had his car seat and eventually (after more chocolate chips than I could eat), the little guy would drift off to sleep. The girls pack their little totes that Grandma Brady gave them on the plane and color for an hour and then spend the rest of the time chillin' with Walt Disney on my laptop. He is the best babysitter 
of our time. After church on Sunday, we spent the afternoon in Steamboat Springs, CO. It is pretty there. It's kind of an older, ritzier looking Park City with a European flair. When we were there they were having a big hot-air balloon festival, art show in the park, and tube float down the Yampa River. People were crawling all over the place. We spent a little time at a local park where Ryan and Kacie (and probably mommy too, I couldn't see) watered the dandelions with a little homemade lemonade if you know what I mean. The next day I interviewed at the hospital. It seems like a pretty solid job. Mostly outpatient work, some inpatient and OB, as many procedures as I want to do and optional ER work. It's about 4-4.5 hours from family, so that's a little closer than we are now. I suppose that's good. Best of all, Craig is the self-proclaimed elk hunting capital of the world. Supposedly, even I am supposed to be able to bag a bull and I can't hit the broad side of a barn. Time will tell. A couple of good friends, Seth Spanos and Zack Bailey, are looking into the job as well. It would be a pretty sweet deal if we all signed together. The rest of our trip was checking out the sites around Craig. That took all of about 30 seconds. We did land at the wave pool though which was pretty nice. I wanted to post some pictures but when I went to download them from my camera they all included a fat white guy with a farmer tan that I didn't recognize so I'm guessing either we swapped cameras or my parents were just shooting pics of the wrong family. All in all it was alot of fun. Craig could be a good place for us. We'll see how things work out. As much as Tracy blogs here, you'll all probably find out where we sign before I do. Do me a favor and just let me know so 
I
don
't commit us anywhere else.
