Road Trippin' - Day Six

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jigg.

Day six began with great service at the hotel breakfast buffet. The waitress remembered our drink order from the morning before! We were quite impressed.

After breakfast we hit the road. Although we had planned to get a hotel in Kansas City on the way home, we were feeling rested and decided we would try driving straight through to St. Louis, an almost 14 hour trip.

With the exception of stopping to find a restroom and stretch our legs, we made it all the way to Salina, KS, where I had made plans to have a late lunch with Becky, a friend from middle school. It is amazing how reunions with people from your past can make you think about how fast time flies. Although I have been married for three years, I still do not feel nearly as adult as I do when my peers get married and have kids. Becky is married to a guy who seems to be genuine, kind and a great father to their adorable baby. I am so glad that I was able to meet them both. Here is a picture of Becky and I with our friends on my 13th birthday, and a picture of Becky and I yesterday.

After lunch we forged on. Despite and unexpected detour in Kansas City, we made good time and got to Barnhart where we picked up our dogs (thanks mom) and were in bed by 1:00 am.

In total we drove an estimated 2,408 miles. Here is what that looked like:

Until next time, it's good to be home.
