We arrived home on April 3, 2011 at noon. The kids and grandkids had been checking off and on about our whereabouts. The question on Sunday morning -- about when would you be home. LOL Because of "Alice" we knew we would be home at 12:02 p.m.

After pulling in the driveway it wasn't but a little bit and Jessica and Max was at the house, Laura shortly after, and Sheri's notified us they were at Bunton and Willis Road. Very happy homecoming.

It was great to be home. The next night was birthday party for TJ, he turned 17 years young.

We have arrived in MICHIGAN!!!!

We brought route 24 from Ft. Wayne, Indiana across to Ohio 475 and then up to US 23.

Getting real close when you see the Ohio sign.

You have to look closely but the Illinois sign is there. Sometimes really hard to get these state signs. In fact I didn't get Indiana's sign.

The Mississippi River at St. Louis, MO.

Well we left Stanton, MO this morning around 8:30 a.m. We are now at Gas City, IN. That is north of Indianpolis, IN. We lost another hour today. We will be home tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing the kids and grandkids.

We lost the mountains and beef cattle awhile ago. More interesting looking at both of those instead of the flat lands. The Illinois/Indiana area just has flatland and last years stuble of crop.

I think I forgot to mention in yesterdays post. We had gotten off the expressway and heading to the campground and one of Bob's glass lens just fell out and went between his seat and consule. He ended up having to take off his glasses, driving with one lens in doesn't work. We had screws in trailer for glasses, so after parking we fixed his glass. He also had the last pair of glasses with him. So that helped until he fixed the new ones.

It has been a great trip this year. The sights we saw and the weather was just great. Having Jr & Luanne meet us out in Las Vegas/Arizona and showing them the things out there just added to the great trip this year. Also not bad getting out of the Michigan winter weather.

On Thursday, March 31, 2011 we left Tucumcari, NM at 8 a.m. Arrived in Oklahoma City around 3 p.m. When we went west we stayed in Oklahoma City and then south to Abilene, TX, now we are returning to Oklahoma City on Route 40. We stayed in the same campground as we did three months ago. It was surprising when we were in the office getting a site for the night the lady said to me "have you been here before - I recognize you". It was funny, we were there December 29.

We arrived today at Stanton, MO. We are 60 miles west of St. Louis, MO. It has been very good weather, no rain and temperatures have been real good. I am sure that is about to come to a halt.

We are thinking we will arrive home on Sunday. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at home. Barbara Jean wants us to wait until Tuesday to come home. Only because we missed her birthday (she did get a card and $$ in the mail for her birthday) and she wants TJ to have his birthday without us there. LOL

It has been a long 14 weeks away from the kids & grandkids.

Can you tell this is the road sign for the Lone Star state. Okay, another case of 65 miles per hour and almost missed the sign.

These are the funny looking hills/mountains in Texas and some in Oklahoma. I call them flat-top hills.

Not a good picture, but going 65 mph and the road isn't smooth I think I did okay.
