On The Road Again

We just got back from a really great visit to Lincoln, Nebraska to see our friends Tim & Allison and Nate. We also got a visit from Uncle Jack Daniels as well...:) We ate at a great Thai restaurant called Blue Orchid, and if you are ever in Lincoln, we HIGHLY recommend it! Tim & Allison were nice enough to let us bring the dogs. Lucy loved their back yard and Nate even brought over a nice black squirrel that Lucy took only 9 minuted to destroy (pictures to come). We had a great fondue night on Friday, and then went and worked it off at Allison's gym on Saturday. Mara worked out, and Tim, Nate & I played cutthroat racquetball for an hour and a half. It was great to see them again since we hadn't been to Lincoln for almost 2 years!
Well, Mara starts back at school tomorrow, bright & early at 6am. It's been a really great vacation the last 2 weeks. We were able to see almost everyone we wanted to, but we did pay the price. According to Google Maps, we spent about 41 hours in the car over the course of 2,285 miles!!! I feel like a truck driver putting all of those miles on! It was well worth it though!!! The dogs went trough most of it with us too, and I bet they won't be so excited next time we ask "Do you wanna go for a ride?".

Here is a rough map of our driving expedition:
