Home is where the heart is...

and the road is the place for adventure!

36 days, 7,452 miles, 20 states, 2 Canadian Provinces and we are back home in Eagle! 7,452 miles is a long way and a long time to be on the road. Once again we were reminded how vast a country this is and how much there is to explore. Like all of our adventures, this one was fantastic and unique. Though the East Coast is densely populated with things in close quarters, we found some gems and enjoyed visiting with family and friends. As we drove west and the distance betweens towns, and in some cases any sign of civilization, grew we breathed deeper and were reminded why we love the west and would not consider living anywhere but here.

As always, we learned a lot on this trip. We learned that the girls love the beach. We have always known that they prefer water to land, but now we know that the water on the beach is their happy place. We learned that North Dakota is a very nice place as long as the bison stay at a safe distance. We learned that Niagara Falls is the Vegas of the East. We learned the proper way to eat a lobst-ah. Most importantly, we learned how to tolerate and appreciate one another and were reminded that we love to travel, we love adventure, and we will do it again next year!
