Today's notes:

Today was the last day of our long journey, and it went great. No rain, no hail, just sunny skies all day. We slept in, which felt great since we were on a real mattress for a change. Then we went out for breakfast with Jason and introduced him to The Egg and I, which is a breakfast place we love back in the Springs. After that we headed back home.

We drove through some beautiful places on our last drive of the trip, including Gunnison, CO. We also drove over Monarch Pass, Canon City, and Salida, CO, which is a great drive that takes you through beautiful canyons along the Arkansas River. Then finally we were back in Colorado Springs. Our trip was fantastic. Taking us to glaciers, lava fields, emerald lakes, snow capped mountains, green forrest, and beautiful desert, but we were happy still to pull into our driveway and know we were home. I think we were most excited about picking up our baby girl Pancake from the kennel the following morning (we couldn't do it right then because of the holiday). After that we picked up a pizza at Papa Murphy's, kissed on a great trip, and headed off to bed, to catch up on sleep after an exhausting two weeks. But it was an amazing two weeks. Our country has so much to offer and I hope everyone reading this gets to experience everything Tomme and I did.
