The Vacation Wrap Up

Like all good stories, the vacation also has to end. It ended today, at Honey and Bears where Cap was reunited with his cousin, aunt and grandparents. Being as he had not seen them in a week, which is a long time for a little fellow, he was excited to see them. We were also treated to some great Lasagna and homemade bread. We departed their house and put Cap straight to bed. He seemed happy to be home.

A few notes about the trip. The only route that we retraced, or came back the same way we went, was between Stinnett and Borger. The rest of the 1551.4 mile journey was all in one direction. It sort of looks like a pentagon. Below is an overview map, the numbers are on there to ensure that it drew the correct roads. We travled through, Oklahoma, Kansas (my first time), Nebraska (my first time), Wyoming (my first time), Colorado, and New Mexico. I liked the interstate in Nebraska the best, it was 400 miles of light traffic and no towns.

My sister asked if we took a picture of the sign at the top of Pikes Peak. Honey and Bear have a nice one of them at the top. I said, “no, it was 20 degrees and snowing, we did not take a picture by the sign.” I did capture the conditions, they are below.
