July 3, 2015 – Day 31

St. Louis, MO – Cumming, GA

560 miles/9 hours

HOME

It was a long, long day! I have learned something. In the past I’ve ended my trips at Rich’s parents’ house, or visiting close friends. We’d have a chance to relax and look forward to going home – get excited about it. This time, I was desperate to get home. And it was a long haul. But writing this, a month removed, I already miss the road. I’ve started planning next year’s adventure!

I will share “Best Of” post this week, once I’ve gone through all our pictures, calculated our stats and reviewed my road journal. 

Lincoln, NE & St. Louis, MO

July 2, 2015 – Day 30

Omaha, NE/Lincoln, NE-St. Louis, MO

45 minutes - 50 miles/7 hours – 432 miles

Renaissance St. Louis

My apologies for posting this sooooo late. The last two days of our road trip were long, and we just wanted to get home. There was very little sightseeing, so I didn’t think to post. Then I received a bunch of emails from people wondering where we were… I’m so sorry! We were only home for a couple of days, before heading to Florida, and time just got away from me.

From Omaha, we took a westward detour to Lincoln, NE, so we could tour the capitol building. You know me and my capitals. It was worth the time, because Lincoln is a fantastic little city. I sort of regret that we didn’t stay there, instead of Omaha. The Capitol is beautiful and of course, the people were very nice.

Then we headed east, for long haul across Missouri, sometimes driving through rain. The kids fought the whole time. When I pulled up to the hotel, I was fragged. Hotel was beautiful and empty! Guess the St. Louis airport isn’t a popular Fourth of July hang-out. 

We ordered room service for the children and Rich and I had dinner downstairs in the hotel dining room. We had the place to ourselves!
