Journal Entry: Roadtrip Day 18-19...Destination HOME!

Heading home. The last two days of the roadtrip were spent driving home. They were definitely the icing on the cake! The drive was gorgeous, and relatively easy. The kids were great, Cash was done, but who wouldn't be tired of riding in a car after 19 days of traveling?!

Here's a summary of our long journey home: Left Kearney an hour late (usual, since we rely on kids as an alarm...always sleep in when we need them to get us up early), saw lots of snow (Mabs wanted to eat it, since Jack on Nightmare before Christmas eats snow....never got a chance to taste it), Nebraska last leg was uneventful and windy, Wyoming was surprisingly pretty, Utah was GORGEOUS, Salt Lake City was bee-autiful (surrounded by snow-capped mountains...breath-taking), and MUCH easier drive thru Wyoming than Colorado (and BONUS no added time, still took us 17hrs to get from Kearney to Vegas).

And even a bigger bonus, we saw more wildlife/animals than we ever expected...crane, cows, horses, alpaca, antelope, mule deer, elk, sheep, deer, and either beavers or baby bears (hard to tell)...but whoa, it was a contest on who could see what animals for most of the drive! Ok...enough rambling...enjoy the bazillion drive home pics!!
