As anyone who knows us would predict, we had to make another swing through O-town before heading home. Any excuse to keep our vacation going as well another opportunity to see the cousins, G-dad, Bill and Kathleen.
Since we were in no hurry to get home (and had two screaming kids demanding food in the back), we went to Cracker Barrel during the final stretch. This little visit made everything all right. Is there a Cracker Barrel food truck in Miami?
[EDIT:Mason - that same method of "demanding" is not as effective when you're 40. We never did make it to Waffle House.]
We arrived home mid-day on Sunday. It was bitter sweet as it's always nice to come home, yet it's sad to see such a wonderful vacation come to an end. Actually, Penny wasn't so happy to get home. We pulled in the drive and she immediately burst into tears and said, "I wan go Joja (Georgia)." Smart girl.

If we have any advice to share: don't be afraid of a long road trip. What seemed crazy when we first started talking about it, turned into an adventure full of countless hours spanning 2500 miles that we will never forget!
Our last order of the day, return the mini-van. We thought it lacked a little personality, so made some minor improvements.
[EDIT:Mason - it's not a Pea green metallic Wagon Queen Family Truckster with "Honky Lips" spray-painted on the side. But it did the trick.]
We had fun sharing our adventures (and misadventures) with you all. You'll hear from us again...
Welcome home, guys. What a great trip you had (we all had, vicariously)! And SO HAPPY you finally gave that mini-van a little flair! Much better. Suzie must be thrilled! PS - Penny, I'm with you. I want to go back to GA (or somewhere on vaca) too. Love you guys. Soooooo happy you're home. Finally.
