Today, Sunday, after breakfast, we said our goodbyes to the Ho-Ho-Holters and headed out for our last day of our road trip back home. The weather was perfect for driving—sunny but cool, as we headed East on I-70 toward Kansas City, then up through Iowa and on to Sioux Falls. We got home right at 7:00 p.m., in plenty of time to see our home and yard before the sun went down. Things looked so good, considering we'd been away from home since February 19! Jess did such a great job of house-sitting! He'll continue to stay at our house until mid-July, when my sabbatical ends. But on those few nights, like tonight and tomorrow night, when we're home, Jess stays at his parents' house. He obviously knows how much dirty laundry and “stuff” we will have to deal with while we're home. We plan to take care of some things the next couple of day, run some errands, etc., before we leave for the condo at Okoboji. We'll be basing out of there until I start back to work in July.
Because our sabbatical travels are now complete, we won't be blogging what we hope are lazy days ahead of us. We will be putting together some closing thoughts and musings about the incredible last five months, and will share those with you. Meanwhile, thanks to those who have kept in touch with us and expressed their interest and enjoyment in our blogs of this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience we've had, thanks to the generosity of my partners at Lynn, Jackson, Shultz & Lebrun! Our blog has always been intended to keep any of our friends and family up to speed on what we've seen and done, as well as to memorialize this fabulous voyage for posterity. We plan to ultimately have our blog printed and bound into a book so that we can always look back on this uniquely wonderful time in our lives! So, until our next blog, Ciao!
