WE MADE IT HOME!

The Midwest welcomed us back with 88% humidity yesterday!!!

Our first big trip in the camper was an overwhelming success! We had a fantastic trip! We made some very good friends during the westward portion of our journey! Then, even though we were on our own coming home, we kept a very busy schedule… so busy that I even took a nap in the camper during one of our midday drives.

Things that I thought were extra cool:

Snow on mountain tops - Jackie and I even exchanged a snowball volley!
Driving to Logan Pass on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier Nat’l Park.
Whitewater rafting.
Our side trip to see the Tetons! So glad Juan & Jovi invited us!
EVERYTHING OREGON: Multnomah Falls, Cannon Beach, Seals, Whales, the Columbia River!

Will we do another two-month trip? Definitely maybe! Will we book another Airstream caravan? Definitely!
