A Big Finish

We are so excited to be on our way home! 

After a month on the road, it feels like this is our way of life--a nomadic existence, always moving. But we are dreaming about the day (today!) that we can park it in one place. Iowa never sounded so delightful! 

But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We have to tell you about our last, shining, glorious day. 

Monday, we left Vermont and drove eight hours across upper state New York. Molly took the wheel for a while and hit a flock of low flying birds. We still have the sad marks on the windshield. 

As evening fell, we enjoyed a luscious skyline, and a seemingly never ending sunset. We enjoyed our last fire at Sleepy Hollow campground, and kept it burning until well past midnight. 

Ok. We're gonna make this short and sweet. We are eager to get on the road.

LAST DAY! We celebrated Molly's 21st birthday in Canada. We were full of surprises, although she did not appreciate being blindfolded to greet them. We visited a butterfly sanctuary, Niagara Falls, and for the grand finale, Molly hit the casino. 

Lets just say there was ringing, flashing lights, and absolute elation. Molly's birthday, and our last day of the trip ended fabulously!

We drove until 4 a.m. to Michigan, where Autumn's high school friend, Tyler had beds waiting for us. Now it's 2 p.m. and we're preparing for our final push home.

Thanks for all the love, and for reading our blog. It's been a big journey, and we've had fun sharing it with you! We're HOMEWARD BOUND (yeah, that's cheering)!! NEW PHOTOS. LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE....
