Home Again

Yep...we are once again home! We left shortly after nine, stopped once for lunch and gas and then again at the new Hardee's in Burlington for supper (nobody felt like making supper when we got home). Nothing extraordinarily exciting happened, though we did take a few pictures from the road! In the end, I believe either Mom or Billy won the license plate game (found the most state license plates) with Jesse, Travis, Justin, and Jonathan close behind. We listened to two whole stories on CD and Jesse claimed to be hungry every twelve minutes.

We stopped to eat at Hardee's and got home at 6:45...so I suppose if we try to be technical, the vacation lasted precisely 10 days and one hour! Now we are in the process of unpacking our many belongings. Actually, no. Dad and Billy are looking at the mail, Johnny is reading the paper, Travis and Jesse are playing with their Hardee's toys, Justin is downstairs playing or something, I am blogging, and Mom is unpacking.

So...here we are, home at last! What a week it has been! And now, some photos from today's drive...

I think this is supposed to show that we are in Kentucky since we missed the welcome sign.
