Day 38: There's No Place Like Home!

I don't exactly understood how it works, but some how after doing not much other than sitting, all four of us are exhausted! Devin and I don't want to do much other than relax and Brooks and Addy have been a sleep since they finished their dinner. Addy is currently snoring!!

Our trip went very well. We enjoyed spending time with family and friends. This morning, before we headed out, we met up with Devin's dad and stepmom for breakfast. We went to one of my favorite breakfast spots, La Peep, and I had the best omelet in the world. They do a spinach and bacon omelet and use cream cheese in the middle. It is amazing!!

After breakfast, we went to another one of our favorite places, Curtis Orchard, and brought home the best apples ever, honeycrisp!! We also bought some apple and pumpkin butters to ring in the fall. And for the ride out of town, a cup of fresh, hot apple cider! Great morning!!

The rest of the day was spent trying to keep each other awake for the drive home. Did you know that it takes approximately 21 miles to sing the entire "99 Bottles of (Root) Beer on the Wall" song? Yes, Devin and I sang the whole song, all 99 verses, while driving home. We also played countless rounds of 20 questions with answers like wind mills and body armor. Needless to say, we did the best we could to make the trip home as much fun as possible.

Alas, we are home! Seeing as we are all so tired, I leave you with a line from the Wizard of Oz...
"There's no place like home, there's no place like home!"

  1. Wow, I'm impressed - all 99 verses. Growing up, we always sang, "99 bottles of coke on the wall."

    All that boredom, and you never called...

    I'm glad you're home safe. We had our home check today. One more class, one more home check, background checks, and I think that's it. Could be soon now.
