Home Sweet Home, Monday, 9/8/14 and Tuesday, 9/9/14

We left Springfield, Missouri at 7:45 a.m. this morning and passed through Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and ended up in Birmingham, Alabama at 5:15 p.m.  We met Chuck’s Uncle Danny and his wife, Gisele, at Shane’s Rib Shack and visited with them while we ate supper. 

At 6:30 p.m. we headed south and stopped for the night at a hotel in Clanton, Alabama.  We’ll be home tomorrow.  Yeaaaaaa!

We left the hotel at 8:30 a.m. this morning with a single minded goal—getting home.   We stopped for a quick bite to eat in Bainbridge, Georgia and when we went through Tallahassee, Florida we saw a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop with the HOT sign turned on.  Of course, we had to stop there and buy a dozen hot glazed doughnuts, and we promptly ate six of those melt in your mouth morsels.   

We pulled into our yard in Weeki Wachee, Florida at 5:45 p.m.  The temperature was in the eighties and the humidity was 89%, but we were excited to be home four months after we left for our adventure in Montana.  We unloaded the truck and piled everything in the living room, but we decided that further unpacking and laundry could wait until tomorrow. 

This will be our last blog entry for this year, but we wanted to share with our faithful readers how many of you there are to this date.

Virginia City/Nevada City, Montana is a fantastic place and they have done a great job of preserving the history of the Old West.  We highly recommend that you all plan a vacation there and spend lots of money so the preservation efforts will continue and this glimpse into the past will be there for our children and our children’s children.  If you have any comments or questions you may direct them to us at travel@cindycations.net.   

As to our future plans, we are flying to San Diego, California on October 3rd to see our son and his family.  On October 11^th we will board a ship headed home and take a 15 day cruise through the Panama Canal to Tampa, Florida.  We will probably take another seasonal summer job next year and are considering a location somewhere in New England.  But, of course, that is subject to change depending on any better offers that may come along.          

 Thanks for taking this journey with us!
