Heading Home

We've been so excited this whole trip to see new sites, but nothing compares to the excitement of returning home. Thursday night we camped in Montana near the Idaho boarder off of I-90. We got a great site the national forest right on the Clark Fork river. Friday we woke and made our longest drive yet on this trip from where we were camped in Montana through the Bitterroot Mountain range into the Idaho panhandle, through Spokane Washington where we headed south into Oregon. We ended the day south of Eugene, Oregon at a little RV park right off I-5. All the signs were telling us we had made the right decision to start heading home. We even saw a sign for "Finley, Washington", which made us think of our 3 year old niece, Finley, who has apparently been asking Kyle's sister Amy every day when are Uncle Kyle and Auntie Jen coming to visit... which means to us it's been too long! We were more than excited to get back into Pacific standard time zone, which doesn't sound like it would be exciting but for some reason gave us the comfort of home. West Coast... it's good to be back! We have another day of driving, and plan to visit and stay in Eureka tonight and should be back in Healdsburg, California to our new home by tomorrow!

Finley! Finley, Washington that is...
Do you like how they use a silhouette of George Washington's head for their state highway sign?
