Home Sweet Home

We arrived back home in Belmont, NH on Wednesday, October 26. The previous day we visited my sister and her family in Connecticut. We had planned to have dinner with my brother and sister-in-law in Connecticut on Wednesday night but had to change our plans when we looked at the weather forecast for Belmont. We originally planned to come home on Thursday, but due to the anticipated inclement weather with possible ice and snow, we came home a day early. Neither one of us wanted to deal with a motor home, towing a car, on icy or snowy roads. Better to be safe than sorry!

It was so nice to get back home. Our whole family was at the house to greet us when we arrived. It was great to finally see and hug everyone. The house seems huge after living in the motor home for almost three months. The dogs are also thrilled to be back home and are enjoying being able to run free in the backyard instead of being tethered to a leash all the time.

We had so many exciting and wonderful adventures on this trip. Thank you to everyone who followed us on this blog as we traveled around the U.S. We hope that everyone gets an opportunity to do some traveling like this one day. What a great way to see the U.S. of A.

As this blog comes to a close, I can’t help but think that the third time really was the charm. When I named this blog, I hoped it would be a good omen for our trip.

When thinking about what images I could use as this trip came to an end, I was reminded of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that we viewed during our trip, so here are some of those images. We hope you enjoyed being on the road with us.
