THE END......9,303 Miles

We drove into Elk Rapids at 6:30 tonight. We came from Escanaba, Michigan this morning. We got a late start, plus we ate breakfast at Elmer's Restaurant. The menu said Katy's Restaurant, I really don't know about the restaurant, because when we were leaving the area there was a Elmer's Grocery Store. Go figure!
We stopped by my cousin Rick Wilson's in Naubinaway. Had a nice visit with Rick and his wife Pauline. Haven't seen my cousin in a while so the visit was a special visit. It always is with Rick.
They have a beautiful home and beautiful setting right on Lake Michigan. It is a paradise spot.
Sadie was glad to see Kayla and her friends when we arrived home. Kayla was going to surprise us with a Welcome Home done with chalk on our porch, but we arrived before they were done.
The Kassel's gave us a big welcome home along with Lily and Jackson! Sadie was excited to see everyone but really she was more excited to watch the squirrel going up their tree!
All, in all the trip was fantastic, can't believe we drove 9,303 miles! We saw so much, met so many nice people along the way, and did I mention spend a lot of money? It was so worth every penny! My only regret that we didn't do it 20 years ago when Rick and Amy were younger so they could have had the same adventure! But it didn't happen so, Rick and Amy will have to do this trip when they can!
I recommend this trip to anyone who can do it! The roads were great, oh well, there were some spots that could have been better, but we got through them alive!
Take a GPS and let her do the directing!
Time to go to bed and start a new day tomorrow!
