About 2 months ago I had the opportunity to go on a trip to Wyoming with Estee's Dad and all the men from his side of the family. We go fishing, hiking, shoot guns, eat lots of meat, and do all sorts of manliness. Thus it has been dubbed THE MAN TRIP, and this was the 2nd year running that they have done it. We had a total of 13 guys up there at once, but most couldn't stay for the entire trip. Estee's Dad, Scott, owns the house up in Afton, Wyoming that has now become the family retreat, and makes any excuse to head up there whenever possible. The closer he gets, the giddier and sillier he gets too. It is not hard to see why. We will be driving back up there in about 1 weeks time for Christmas! Here is the 2010 Man Trip in pictures:
