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!
Welcome Home! That was an impressive journey!

Glad to hear you’ll all home safely. I’ll look forward to hearing more and seeing your photos in coming weeks.
Wow! That sounds wonderful! I look forward to hearing all about it. Hope you’re warmed up by now.
