Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

We are home once more after 23 days on the road! We had a wonderful trip -- good scenery, good experiences, and....best of all, good company. What fun to be together, experiencing new places, revisiting old memories, and laughing together throughout the day.

We left Kingman, AZ around ten o'clock this morning and arrived in Costa Mesa around 4:oo this afternoon. The day was filled with driving, stopping for diet cokes, and reminiscing about our trip. We made a list of "best ofs....". The list included:

Best Ice Cream Cone.....Mitchell, SD - where the ice cream was in homemade waffle cones.
Best Ice Cream Treat...Braums in Clinton, OK - brownie sundae that Elizabeth called a "little boat of goodness"
Best Rest Area....Chamberlain, SD - where the rest area included an interpretive experience about Lewis and Clark's expedition and a room with brochures from areas throughout SD
Best Museum....Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, IL
Best Historical Village....Prairie Homestead in SD

When we were young and travelling with our parents and we came home from vacation, Dad used to say, "I've been away, but I must say, 'Home looks good to me." We echo that sentiment.

Thanks to all who read and let us know they were following this blog. We appreciate your interest and enjoyed sharing our Triple A Road Trip with you.
