Day 153 -- Home at Last


This morning we were ready to head out with very mixed feelings. On one hand, we will be glad to be home, hug our pets, see and hug our kids, and visit with our friends; but on the other hand, we certainly are not ready to stop traveling. It has been a journey filled with adventures and sights beyond our wildest expectations.

Our life-long dream to travel the United States has been fulfilled--although we have much more to see and do for another time. There is so much to see in this beautiful country of ours. We look forward to continuing our dream by traveling the east coast in 2009 or 2010.

We arrived home in about 4 hours. We had stopped to have lunch with a friend in his restaurant in Buford, but unfortunately the restaurant had closed since we began our trek. So, we headed on home and arrived about 1 PM.

We were greeted by all of the pets: 3 dogs and 2 cats. It was great to be home. But, it felt really weird. We didn't feel like this house was our home any longer. The RV feels like our home. So, it took some mental adjusting.

Because of our reluctance to call the "house" our home, we made lunch in the RV and took a nap in the RV. It didn't feel right to be in the house at all.

But, the "weirdness" soon wore off. Now, we have the arduous task of packing and getting ready to move elsewhere. We plan to build a home in Lavonia, Georgia, to be near LD and Tina's home.

So, when we take off again, know that we will once again keep a blog. It has been such a blessing to have this record of our journey as we quickly forget the details. Without you faithful readers, I am sure I would not have been so diligent in keeping the blog current. We have so many pictures that we could not post, and those, too, will be tremendous reminders of the great adventure God has blessed us with.

Until we travel again, thanks for checking in with us!
Be blessed,
Pam & Dave
