Home Sweet Home

Tuesday, August 4, 2015

We made it home!   It feels so good to be back in the Hoosier state!  We covered 492 miles today, and arrived home early in the afternoon.  It was good to see the Indianapolis skyline and I waved at my work friends at the OneAmerica building in the distance! 

The house did fine without us, but the weeds took over the flowerbeds…we have some catching up to do.   Now starts the task list of doing laundry, washing the vehicles, sorting mail, catching up on crossword puzzles, and trying to get back to a more normal routine.

We had a surprise visit from my oldest sister who was driving through Indy and stopped by in time to see our mountain of laundry and piles from unloading.  It was fun to see a face from the family after being gone so long.

We’ve been gone for 58 days.   During that period we have driven 4,362 miles, used 566 gallons of fuel, spent 90+ hours behind the wheel with an average moving speed of 48mph, while driving through 10 states, and 7 Canadian provinces!

We have also gathered countless memories, experienced so many awesome adventures and formed new friendships, many who we plan to connect with in the coming months.

It was a wonderful trip, but there’s no place like home!   And, to answer the question that a few have already asked:  We have not booked a new adventure…..yet!
