Day 31: Almost home!

map1.gifA completely uneventful driving day. We traveled from Knoxville, Tennessee to Conway, Arkansas today, covering 550 miles of Interstate 40. Fortunately, the weather was very nice. The mountains helped add to the scenery as well. We arrived in Conway around 7 pm or so, grabbed dinner at Fazolis, and checked into the Best Western. Tomorrow we complete our journey and hope to be home in time for Wednesday night service at church. I can’t believe that we are almost there.

We are eager to pull up to our home once again. In some ways, it feels like we just left. But when I look back on all the places we have been, all the people we have visited and all the things we have done, I realize it has indeed been a very long month.

For those of you who have followed along with us, I want to say “thanks!” Your comments and participation have been meaningful to us. For myself, Mary, Zach, Jenna and Socrates, we shall never forget this road trip!

    We checked out of Beaver Creek around noon today, leisurely packing and enjoying the remainder of our stay. Jenna wanted to try the bungee trampoline, so we let her bounce for a few minutes before we left the resort. I think the height intimidated her, but she had fun. The drive from Beaver Creek to…

    We had a great time in Glenwood Springs. From taking a Segway tour of the area and a day at the world’s largest hot springs pool to downtime for rest & relaxation and a trip to a rain-covered Snowmass, my family and I enjoyed our brief vacation. I may put up some video once I…

    The kids were up at the crack of dawn, around 6:15 am. But we didn’t mind much as we all slept through the night pretty good. I usually don’t sleep my first night at high altitude, so it was refreshing. I was still tired, but it was fine. We lazed around the room for a…

    The truth? I’ve been in Paris all week, enjoying the world’s most beautiful city with the world’s most beautiful woman. I plan on writing a detailed entry (or series of entries) detailing our exploits. As I sit on the balcony of my hotel enjoying someone’s open wifi network, I can’t help but imagine what it…
