Turning Left and Going Home

It hardly seems possible that we have been on the road for a month, and yet, Redgranite, where we started this adventure, seems a long, long, time ago. San Antonio is our last stop, so as we were sent off by family and friends, so will we be sent home by them.

We had a wonderful day yesterday in the Hill Country with cousins -- Connie, Terry, Greg (Greg, you should have stuck around! We came back from the flea market eventually) and Pete; Connie & Terry's daughter Jessica and her husband Jason, my Aunt Nitza...so good to all be together and little Nicholas was a trooper - 3 hours in the car coming and going and lots of passing around in between and he didn't melt down til we were a few minutes from home.
We have been in the following states: Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri yet to go. We have traveled 7000 miles and have another thousand to go. Am I ready to go home? I think so. I'm restless today. At the same time, I'm already thinking about the next trip.

So, friends, we will be home soon. There will be lots of stories and I've got a year's worth of material to write about. Lots of pictures, too. I promise not to bore you all with the details, but will try to come up with a few choice stories to post on Lindastravel essays. You can read them at: http://lindas-essays.blogspot.com/
