October 9, 2008 – Home Sweet Home, Troy, IL

We made it home after about an 8 ½ hour drive today. A longer drive than our normal would be, but we needed to be home for my doctor appointment tomorrow. The final numbers are: 22 days, 11 states, and 4500 miles. I think about 75% of that was pulling the 5th wheel. We were able to see a lot of beautiful country, the fall colors, interesting historical and scenic sites. We enjoyed the whole trip and but have decided our favorite was the time in Shipshewana. The country side and farms are very clean and orderly, and there a lot of neat shops to look through. There were quilt stores for Karen and woodworking for me. The Amish really have some interesting and beautiful pieces. Lots of ideas! We are thankful to be home after basically a safe trip. So, this is the last post for now.
