Day 22- HOME!!

Total miles- 550 today
Overall total- 7040

Well, we made it!! This actually seems like a short 8 hour drive... Considering yesterday was 12 hours.  Our ride was pretty uneventful!!! Thanks God for getting us across the country and home safely!! Our car troubles were minor and we only hit a bird!!!

When we walked in the door, our fridge was full of food and fruit and snacks were on the counter!! I loved our small group family!!! They stocked our fridge with essentials so I didn't have to run out this morning and get food!!! Thanks you to 2 awesome people... You know who you are!!!

When we drive up in the driveway, Russell's mom was waiting on us with freshly make eggplant Parmesan, avocado salad, homemade pickles and some other goodies.  Then, my parents stopped by with some Chinese food.  We ate a little of everything.  

Our trip was awesome.  Would I do it again? Absolutely.  Would the girls? You have to ask them, but I am sure they would say yes!! We had a wonderful time with friends and family.  We saw things you would never see if you flew!! A moose running out in front of you, hundreds of windmills on a hill, 50 degree temperature increases and decreased in a matter of hours, massive amounts of corn, pitching a tent 30 minutes before dark, steaks on the iron skillet, etc. 
 
The whole house slept til 9am, even Russell.  Now it's time to wash and for Russell to catch up on his reading and writing papers... Life has returned to normal!! But we are forever changed by our memories and fellowship with our family!!!
