Home, Sweet Home

Well, we are officially home.  We made great time this afternoon.  We only made two stops in 6+ hours.  The first one was a pit stop, and the second was an ice cream stop...

We stopped in Quartzsite, Arizona for "dinner" at Dairy Queen.  This was one meal we didn't have to coax Tatum to eat.  She ate every last bit, and then she licked the cup clean.  She's going to need some serious detox after this vacation.  Dinner put us $1.64 cents over budget, but after 10 days on the road, it was worth every penny.

We rolled into the driveway at about 8:30pm, after 10 days of vacation and 2,407 miles of driving logged.  The kids can now claim Eureka, California as the furthest north they've been (instead of Anaheim).  They've seen some beautiful country, some amazing national parks, northern California beaches, major landmarks, adrenaline pumping roller coasters, and the craziest city in the West, San Francisco.  It was a wild ride and tons of fun, but it's nice to be home.
