Notes from the Road, Day 17

We did it!

Only 5 hours in the car today and the kids were much calmer.  We left Iowa City at 7 a.m. and got home just after noon with a quick stop for milk along the way.  Shortly thereafter, freezing rain started, so we were glad to be home!

The house was 40 degrees when we walked in; hubby figured out the problem and now it’s gradually warming up.  The older kids are wrapped in blankets, the youngest begged for a nap and is sleeping soundly, and we have the car unloaded and laundry started and piles of home-again things to do.

In the coming weeks I’ll share specifics and photos of the places we visited.  Thanks for following us along the way!
