Well, after 24 days, 15 states (counting California), and 5,650 miles, we made it home. It was a trip of a lifetime. The kids loved everything, except being in the car so much. Here are some facts about our trip:
•The kids are now Jr. Rangers of 9 more National Parks/Monuments
•Texas took forever to drive through
•Erin and Dan now know how to talk with a "Southern" accent, or at least they think they do
•24 days of togetherness is a lot of days
•Sleeping in a covered wagon is cool
•The kids think that Dairy Queen's blizzards are now a part of their daily diet
•Dan did an awesome job driving all 5,650 miles (and we just thought he was nice to look at)
•Kyle found or was given license plates for his collection of all the new states we were in, and are already up on his wall
•The entire family listened to several of the Little House books on CD during the trip
•Everyone except Wendy, had the best steak of their life in Ft. Worth, Texas, and Wendy will always regret not ordering one too
I hope everyone that followed us on our trip enjoyed it. Now Wendy needs to get busy and work on the scrapbook for this vacation--hopefully it will not take all year!
Welcome Back! Sleep well.
