Driving Home - Day 18

Wednesday was our last day. We were up early and gone by 10:00 am. We had an amazing road trip and it was so great to finish it with new friends. Friends who feel like we have been friends forever.

Austin Thinks the World of Caity

The kids have kept up there contact. Caity had a blog and harrassed Dane into creating his own. Cassidy already had a blog, but now he had good reason to keep it updated. And now the older ones are emailing silly messages back and forth.

In two short weeks, Corrie and her tribe, (as she calls them; I call them lunatics,) will be travelling our way for a five day visit. Our kids are starting their planning already and have some fun ideas in mind.

And then hopefully it won't be many more weeks before we send four boys back their way for a two week visit, while we go and get the girls. By then I am sure they will be sick of us!! LOL!

The sites on the way home were amazing. Near Revelstoke there is so much to see. I am planning to head back that way next summer. Hopefully I will have bought a small RV by then, so our two families can do some camping. I am thinking that Rambling Road Trip #3 is not in the plans for next year. Not with the girls being so new to us and all. A nice, relaxed camping trip might be more in order.





When we got to Cache Creek the boys all bought a milkshake with their spending money. Shortly later, while I was enjoying my strawberry shake, Cooper began to cry. He said he had spilled his milkshake. I pulled the car over, turned around in my seat, and then realized he had not spilled his shake. He had puked! ICK! Poor guy!! He had been fighting a bug for the last couple days and then I think the milkshake hit his stomach too hard. He was fine after that!

What a way to spend the next 1.5 hours!!! First we did our best cleaning out the car, and then we drove with our windows open the rest of the way home!

(after ten hours in the carseat)

You would never know that this little boy, who doesn't like being in a carseat for the five hour trip to the coast, could happily withstand 2 1/2 weeks in the car, driving 5000 km!! NEVER a fuss!
