We're home!

OK, everybody out of the car and help unload this mess. it was a long ride from Kingman to modesto, but we finally made it home. i usually snap pics while we are driving, just to entertain myself, but not this day. i was so tired, all I wanted to do was sleep, but i only napped. the rain followed us all the way from tulsa to kingman, arizona but stopped before it got to california. i was hoping it would just keep traveling west with us and help with some of the fires and thick crappy air here. but it stopped and the fires are still burning.

anyway, so we got up this morning, packed the car and went over for the breakfast that was served in the lobby area of the hotel. crap, it was good. they had a couple of ladies that made everything and then cleaned up. the scrambled eggs were real and they had biscuits n gravy and all kinds of yummy stuff. we just figure, that is one meal we wont have to pay for.  our budget was starting to get a little low, so free is good.

so after breakfast, we headed out. it was an uneventful ride, i guess that is why some of you didnt realise you were still in the back seat. it was a little crowded, but you all were really good. no fighting, or pushing or shoving or even whining. i dont mind taking you vacation with us at all really. anyway, we got home around four, unpacked, sent you all back home, then went for chinese for dinner. my feet and legs are swollen from riding in the car for three days. they look like two logs holding up my body. lol i think i am gonna have to drink a ton of water to get them back to normal.

ok, i really dont have anything else to say, so this is it for today. hope you enjoyed the vacation. i know we did.
