To Whom It May Concern

Day Six - 04Apr05

This was the big drive day!! We got out on the road at about 8, reasonably early for once. Okay, not early, but still... there was no real plan to see anything or visit anywhere, so the basic plan was to drive drive drive. We didn't stop for lunch anywhere because we had our snacks, so we munched on this and that, drank Pepsi, drank grape juice, ate a little chocolate. Oh, and wow, does grape juice ever stain!! I didn't realize it was really THAT bad.

We actually had some quiet time while driving today, I don't know if it was because we really didn't have anything to say, or if it was because we were getting fatigued from the trip and were just content as we rode along, listening to CD after CD on the radio, happy to be together again. Belly drove about 300 miles of the trip, till about St. Louis then I drove again. We got to Columbia, Missouri and stopped at a steak restaurant and had a really good meal, then back to our odyssey.

When we got back to our place in Omaha at about 10 at night, we took only the basic stuff we needed inside and left everything else in the truck, and pretty much crashed right away. The kitties were so happy to see belly, especially MiMow strangely enough, I thought it would be Tyler but he seems so content rather than excited. If this seems like a short post, well, we just didn't do a whole lot. Driving driving driving. I'll tell you this much, it's nice to have a navigator looking over the map instead of me trying to do it while driving. We didn't screw up and go the wrong way at any time on the way back haha. It was really nice to be back home.
