HOME!

It's taken me awhile to get this last post done on our travel blog.  We did go to the museum at Hill Air Force Base in Salt Lake.  It was a really good museum to visit.  So many planes!  I enjoyed the individual stories associated with many of them.  Uncle Doug likes to go spend hours there when visiting Kendra.  Kendra took us to a restaurant called Jeremiah's for supper and we liked it so well that we went back for breakfast!  I had a Utah Scone.  It was so good and so big!  I will attach a photo so that you can get the idea.  If you ever get to Utah I would recommend getting one.  It's a bit like a funnel cake.  Yeah, really good!

We made it to Cheyenne before dark and ate at The Outback there before turning in.  We got back on the road the next morning at a good time.  We took our time getting back and made a stop at Cabela's in Sydney.  Then lunch in Paxton at Ole's Wild Game.  I had never been there.  Paxton, NE is a little town but this restaurant is a big deal.  It features a lot of taxidermy with a Polar Bear,
elephant, Moose, Elk, Giraffe, Zebra, deer, antelope, etc.  Had the first real hamburger for quite a while. Then we stopped in North Platte to see Uncle Royce.  He's getting pretty weak but is as sharp as a tack.  His close friend, Doreta, passed away so we felt we should stop.  He wasn't able to go to the funeral today but we went and his daughters, Karen and Marilyn were there to represent him.

We are thankful to be home and had safe travel.  We figured that we picked up 4 states that we hadn't been to yet and in all have seen 25 of the contiguous 48.  I haven't cooked a meal yet but I think I will need to do that tomorrow.  Grocery shopping is going to be high on the to-do list soon.  Bills are paid and laundry done.  On with the normal life.

Love you all!
