HOME AGAIN

Time certainly DOES fly when you are having fun!  It is hard to believe that we were on the road for 6 weeks and that we put almost 10,000 miles on the truck.  The northeast and westbound part of the trip was much more exciting than simply heading straight home over 6 days without some attractions thrown in.  (It did give me many hours to make to-do lists, meal plans, and schooling plans.)    

As I did last year, I asked everybody what their favorite part of the trip was.

Youngest Child – Niagara Falls

Eagle Scout – Deadwood

College Girl – Seattle

Mechanic Man – Washington state’s scenery, climate, and memories

Mine – Niagara Falls & Yellowstone

It is obvious that Poodle thoroughly enjoyed being a lap dog for the majority of each day:

Then we discussed food!  Here’s everybody’s responses to what they enjoyed eating on the trip:

Youngest Child & Eagle Scout – Cody Cattle Company chuck wagon dinner

College Girl – coffee in Seattle

Mechanic Man – elk burger in Deadwood

Mine – El Cazador Mexican food in Oak Harbor

We thank God for watching over us and blessing us with this trip.  The wonderful opportunity provided us to show our children this majestically diversified geography of our native land and to enjoy history up close will be a memory that our family will share for years to come.
