We left Sunday morning around 8 after saying goodbye to our friends, Linda/Larry and Gary and Angela.We had such a good time in Rapid City with the 6 of our friends. We really enjoyed being with you all!Thanks so much!
It was a gorgeous day to travel with no wind and the sun shining brightly but not too hot! We drove to Henderson, Nebraska which is about 7 miles west of York. We spent the night in a small campground there.
Monday morning, we drove into York and had breakfast...our last one on the road for this trip. So getting started around 9 we drove south back to Kansas! We crossed into Belleville around 10ish... then found Hiway 36 over to Hiawatha.
We got to Topeka around 1:30 yesterday afternoon. Our friends, Bob and Jackie, were here to greet us at Lake Shawnee...it was great to see them and set "our camp" up again! We got set up and visited for most of the afternoon catching up on this and that. Around 4 Megan came over to see us. She didn't stay too long as she needed to get home to let their dogs out. About 45 minutes later Ryan, Erin and the boys came over for supper. It was so good to see them all and have time with them. We have really missed them all. The little boys have really grown over the summer. Brayden wanted to spend the night last night but they will this weekend.
So we spent the rest of the evening after they left just relaxing. This morning we haven't accomplished as much as we had planned but I guess the day isn't over with yet.
After traveling 10,148 miles I guess we deserve a break! We feel so blessed that we were able to travel and go when and where we can. We saw some gorgeous scenery and realize there is so much of the US that we want to see and experience. We have only touched the surface so far. We were also very happy to be back in the "lower 48" ... just something about being closer to home and in the states made us appreciate what we have that much more.
So now I need to get busy today and begin some deep cleaning.... I can tell the cabinets still have the fine Alaska dirt waiting for me to find it! :)
Now our life will be back to the "normal daily stuff"..... but stay tuned.... when we would talk to some of you, you shared you had read the blog... we appreciate that and it encouraged me to write when I didn't have much to write! Please keep in touch!
Until next time!
BJ
