Final day
Wow! What a trip! It's good to finally be home! It was a great trip, but it's nice to sleep in your own bed after being away for so long. Here's how the final day of our trip went:

We started out very early this morning, 5:30am (4:30 Pacific Time), and went to the Four Corners National Monument. It's the only place in the U.S. where you can stand with all four paws each in a different state.

Originally, the plan was to do this and go straight home. But like the rest of the trip, there were other things to do and see along the way, so we had to make a few detours. So even though we had been there before, the Grand Canyon only added 30 extra miles to our drive so we just had to stop.

Again, the difference between going straight home after the Grand Canyon and detouring to Hoover Dam and Las Vegas was only a matter of a couple extra miles. In reality, of course, the extra miles were much more because we drove around to look at things, but it was worth it. After all, after over 7000 miles, what did a few extra miles matter?

After Vegas, it was just a short four hour drive home. Done that long drive many times, but this time it seemed to just breeze by.

Then finally, after 18 days, 20 hours, 45 minutes and 7334 miles on the road, we finally pulled up to the house at 12:30am on Tuesday morning.

We'd like to thank everyone who checked out the blog and also those who left comments. We had so much fun and enjoyed keeping in touch with everyone through this blog. It was a really fun trip and so nice to get away for so long, but we are very glad to be back home.
