Now THAT Was a Long Day!

Well, we decided to plow our way home today rather than spend another night in a motel. We were up and out of the Hampton Inn in Fairmont, Minnesota by 7:30AM ready for the long drive. We stopped once for gas, twice for snacks, twice for pictures, and twice to pee. That was it. The boys held it together pretty good. We rolled in to Livonia after driving 727 miles in 12 hours. It's new Patrick family record! Everyone is glad to be sleeping in their own bed tonight. Over the past 16 days we drove 5,831 miles through 15 states. We saw the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon, Legoland & Magic Mountain, San Francisco, Mount Rushmore, and a million other things...

Final tally: Justin and Joshua spotted License Plates from 47 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, 6 Canadian provinces, and 3 Mexican provinces. Good job, boys!
