I have always been a fan of travelling early. When I am going to somewhere, I am usually so excited, I just want to get there as
quickly as possible. When I am coming
back home from somewhere, I have a
band-aid philosophy: do it quickly and get it over with. So with that in mind, we got an early start
this morning, leaving St. Louis a little after 6:00 am. The roads were empty and flat; a typical ride
through Midwestern farmland. We took
turns napping and driving and the ride was over fast enough. By noon, we were back home.
I’m not gonna lie, I am feeling (and I think we both are) a
little selfish right now. We didn’t want
the trip to be over and we wish we were still out there. It helps that we haven’t been in a tent in
almost a week. But that travel bug is gnawing
away at both of us tonight. For thirty
days, we were able to see, and explore, and experience such incredible things;
you just don’t want it to end. I realize
how incredibly lucky we were to be able to do something like this. And it is nice to be around family and friends again, as well as the conveniences and luxuries of home. I am so grateful that we were able to have
all of these experiences together. Now it’s
just a matter of figuring out what the next adventure will be. Like I said, selfish.
But now that we are home, we are starting to get excited
about what’s going around here. Amy is
getting ready for her interview tomorrow – I think we are both excited for
that. And I start classes again on Saturday. And we will be celebrating my parents 35th
on Sunday. And we will be able to assuage
the symptoms of travel bug-it is next week when we head up to see my aunt Sandy
and Jeanne at their cabin on Lake Superior.
Then I start the newspaper, and then we get our classrooms ready, and
then law classes start, then Packers and Badgers. August will be an exciting month.
So I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have
enjoyed writing it. I know I tend to
ramble, so thank you for bearing with me.
If anyone is planning on visiting any of the places we have gone to,
please let us know. We have picked up
tons of info and would be happy to share it.
We have such an incredibly beautiful country; I hope our stories have
planted some seeds for your future adventures!
Cheers,
