Headed home

After more than 30 days on the road, today we point our Prius homeward.  We got to know our new car pretty well on this trip and loved it quite a bit - except for a love/hate relationship with our in dash gps that we have named Evangeline.  She has fooled both of us on numerous occasions with her directions.

The fall colors are still around us but have grown quite a bit less visible as we move closer to home.

Loved seeing wind turbines along the way. 

We headed to Rochester where we got to see our sister-in-law, Bunny, and her daughter Amy.  Bunny had a stroke and is recovering in rehab.  We are happy to say she will be going home on Oct. 13!  She is always so upbeat and positive and it was wonderful to get to see them both.  

Today we will have our last hotel breakfast, pack up and head back to Palmyra.  Tonight will be pizza for dinner, and tomorrow Bill and I will ease back into normal living.  It's always great to have a road trip of any length and have a break from cleaning, cooking, and obligations.  We are so fortunate to like each other's company enough to be in a small space - car or hotel room - nonstop for over 30 days and still get along!  

As of this morning we have travelled almost 5000 miles.  By the time we get home we will be over that.  Our license plate game has all but 8 states found, and we'll still be on the lookout for the holdouts today on our way home.  We have listened to 3 books on CD, the last of which we will finish today.  It will be good to be home, but oh what a wonderful trip this has been!  Memories we will always cherish of places and people we got to know.  Till the next trip - Ciao.
