Home Sweet Home

Five weeks, 7 states, 3850 miles.  It was a great adventure.  Kansas is not completely flat, Colorado is pretty flat for a long stretch, Missouri is beautiful, Iowa has RV dump stations in its rest areas (thank you Iowa) southern Utah has more concentrated beauty in its landscape than I could have imagined and Illinois and Wisconsin still feel like home.

We had a great dinner Sunday night in Iowa City with Amy and John and celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary.  The last time I had been in IA was for their wedding, so the timing for this get-together was perfect.  Then yesterday we drove the 260 miles homes and pulled in about 5pm.  We unhooked and parked easily and efficiently.  Guess we did learn a few things.  We left home in late summer with flowers and air conditioning and returned home to leaves and heat. 

Beanie and Xena adjusted immediately racing through the house, bouncing off the furniture and bringing sparkly balls to play fetch.  It may take us a bit longer with long to-do lists of cleaning out Chuck and Toad, catching up with bills, mail and other obligations.  However, high on the list is doing what we need to do for the next trip.  Stay tuned!  BTW - we STILL have 2 cases of wine in Chuck.

For Beanie and Xena it starts and ends in the same place
