Home is close by, we're in a hotel for the last night. Tomorrow we have quite a long drive.
I'm tired.
We had a lovely, lazy morning at Jamie's house in Ft Collins. Will & Matt played with sticks and pocket knives (you KNOW that's going to end well...)
We had a hard time leaving her house. The kids played with Jamie at the park, Jim bought us a gourmet lunch (on accident--he didn't really understand that Whole Foods isn't a normal, human grocery store) which was delicious, and we finally hauled ourselves out of there at noon.
As we stood in the yard saying our extended goodbyes, Will hugged Jamie and said "Um, if someone gets stabbed by a stick that's been filed to a point like a spear, you have me to blame for it." Jamie thought about it for a minute and then said "Well, why don't we just get rid of it now instead?" Will thought that was a pretty good idea and he got to float his deadly weapon down the creek behind Jamie's house.
Tonight we're in Trididad, Colorado (about 15 miles from a suspected tornado tonight...woot!) and tomorrow we push on through the last 550 miles home.
We're ready.
Thanks for following our adventures! It's been a great trip.
Sunset tonight
Which is symbolically like sunset on our trip.
Come on home. I am happy and sad at the same time. I actually feel as tired as you sounded in this post. What an incredible adventure and what unforgetable memories you just made for your family. You certainly can't put a price on that!
