Day26 Saying goodbye and the end

We said our good byes and were on the road again, this time our destination........home sweet home!! (p.s. doesn't her hair rock!) We did bear minimum stopping and we stopped in Palm Springs for dinner at Panda. We were hit with the ever so stunning heat as we got out of the car. Yuck!! Rich said my skin was instantly flushed, and we still had 10 degrees hotter to get, yikes! We texted our great friend and house checker, Tori and asked her to turn our air down, so it wasn't so terribly hot when we arrived. She did so and had the feeling to check our fridge. She had to be the bearer of bad news and tell us it was dead, and not the slightest bit cold, disgusting!! Luckily they had a fridge we can borrow for a bit, thx Brunsons! We stopped by the store and got the necessities and made it home at around 11:30 p.m. The kids got to see their dear friends who were waiting up for them to get home. Time to unload and put away, as both of us worked in the morning. Short night, we got to bed at 2:30. Nothing like getting thrown back into real life!! We decided we along with all of our friends and family need to move somewhere cooler, and more beautiful. But we were glad to see our home, for it is in fact home sweet home. It is great to be home, even if it is miserably hot!

I felt the same way coming home from Utah. The heat is terrible. I too want to move somewhere more beautiful and cooler. Then the rest of the year I love it in AZ. Good to have you guys back.

So I was terrible about commenting on your trip along the way, but I absolutely LOVED reading your updates. That is so neat that you took the time to document your trip! It sounds like your whole fam had a FABULOUS time! What an experience! Your pictures were AMAZING!!! That is so awesome that you guys got to see so many beautiful sites...and to experience them all together as a family, too! Glad you guys are back home safe. I know what you mean about the heat and lack of green and such. Someday, we wouldn't mind moving to Colorado... :o)
