Writings from the Road, Final chapter

Day 7: Operation: Get Home ASAP! You know how it is at the end of the trip...all you wanna do, is be home. Well, I woke up early, and of course it was the day that the other 5 slept in. Finally at 7:30, I woke them up and said, "Let's go!" Got the boys dressed and took them to the lobby for a quick breakfast. The Chief slowly got moving, and we were underway at 8:15. Stopped for gas, and said Good-bye to Wyoming...okay, not really, since we had to drive through it for another 5 hours, but you know what I mean. 

I have to tell you that one of the best things we did was stopped at Car Wash minutes from home and cleaned the outside of the van, and vaccumed out the inside, and got rid of all the garbage! Wow! This was definitely one of the best ways to come home from  vacation! Got home, and unloaded the suitcases and cooler and my van was sparkly clean!

It was a fantastic trip! Yeah, there was sibling arguments, yeah, there were times when mom or dad lost it and threatened to pull over (okay, I think we acutally did do that once and moved the car seat so Sethers wasn't in the back next to his brother, spitting on him, thus prompting said brother to hit him, etc. etc.) Yeah, there were times we were all tired and wanted to pull our hair out if we had to be in the van for one mile longer, but overall, it was a great vacation! Can't wait to go again!
