Vacation is over. We drove 4000 miles.  It was a good trip. We left and not planned made it to WI in 31 hours. We were ready to be out of the car.  We spent the first few days taking it slow and just doing a few things. We went to some trains, took some walks, played fetch.  My people went bowling, to a birthday party, family reunion, state fair.  Marshall and Heidi went to her Mom's place for a couple days. ( I got to swim!!!)  We went kayaking!  I think my people are going to get some now.  We drove to Austin and saw some more people.  Back into the car.. we stopped a few more times this time.  Hotel's are interesting for me.  Our last hotel was very Bates like. We planned to stop about 11:30p.  Didn't know it was the kick off to football season and could not get a hotel room for 3 hours... We found a side of the road motel.. Had a room, $45 (we over paid).  But we needed sleep. Got up, drove HOME.  We are happy to be back.  So here is our trip in pictures.  I guess they are in backwards...

Brian, that was quite a nice trip! I was wondering how many times you have made it? You're a trooper.

I'm glad I got to see Heidi, Chad, Marshall, and even you. While I know you didn't go to the State Fair, you got to do some special things.

Thank you for the good report and the nice pictures.

Do I see a corner of the elusive Chad in one of those pictures?!

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time. I love road trips!
