We made it home last night at about 10pm.
We woke up on Saturday morning and said goodbye to the family that was headed east to their home. We puttered around, enjoying the company of Tresa's cousin and her family. Some went for a walk. I got a much needed haircut. By noon, we were ready to go, so we headed for home.
It is a beautiful drive over the Rocky Mountains on I70 out of Denver. There was some sort of bike race going up and down the mountain, so the roads were packed and slow until we got to the west side. Then we had smooth sailing the rest of the way home.
It was a great trip. All goals achieved. Lots of good memories. Many places visited. More family hugged. Both halves of the trip were great. The first half was mostly places and things and was fun in its own way. The second half of the trip was all about reconnecting with family and we had great visits at every stop. The drive, while nuts long, was handled well. We had a good daily devotional in the car and had fun being together - even if we didn't do enough singing!
I will be touching the blog over the next weeks, updating with more details and more pictures.
