August 6&7, 2010


August 6 & 7, 2010


On our final stretch home! Spent the nite on the 6th in Adrian, MN. Another nice campground with a pool and a fire pit for the girls!!! Finished off the marshmallows and hotdogs! Met some really nice full-timers camping next to us. The were originally from Spokane WA. They had a nice 5th-wheel with 4 slide-outs and let us tour it! Very nice, fireplace, flatscreen tv, an island in the kitchen, nice big closet in bedroom. I could really travel well in that!!!

We are now back to the flat land with corn and beans, not much wildlife to see, maybe dead along side the road!

So I guess this is the end of our adventure! At the moment we are somewhere in Iowa and have travelled around 9700 miles when we get home! Haven’t figured out the total dollars spent in gas yet! I have to say this has been a trip of a lifetime. Seeing Alaska and Canada wouldn’t have been the same had we not journeyed there on the Alaskan Highway! The sights were amazing as well as educational. The time spent together as a family is beyond words! At least for me! The girls seem to enjoy themselves too and haven’t seem to have missed summer at home, hopefully they will have extraordinary memories that they can look back on. They keep asking Dad where we are going next year! He hasn’t really responded yet. I’m sure he is planning a something great.....just hope it includes US!

The end to a perfect vacation: Dinner at Rips in Ladd with Leslie, Howard, and TREVOR!!! And a wonderful welcome home from Josh!
