Home in Florida

We made it back to Florida.

We got a late start on Saturday morning because of a Snow advisory in Utah and Wyoming. We left Salt Lake City about 10:30 and headed across Wyoming. The roads were terrible. We saw 5 jack-knifed semi trucks, 4 or 5 rolled cars, and a dozen or so slide offs (some right in front of us). After Cheyenne the roads were dry until we hit rain after Nashville TN. Luckily we had rain until after Atlanta, so it washed the salt off of our car. We spent one night in Ogallala Nebraska, and drove through the next night. We got home about 12:00 on Monday (needing a shower).

The kids did great, and for a reward we went to Cody's Roadhouse for dinner (we didn't have anything to eat at home).


The Excursion covered in salt outside of St. Louis










GPS Trip - 5,465 Miles! 83 hours!

I can't believe how much driving you guys did with all of those kids. I am so glad they were good for you guys. I have a little while until mine will be old enough for something like that.
