Cath Finally read your blog! Welcome home! Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Richard Brennan I really enjoyed reading your posts - thanks! And I am glad you arrived home safely, :)

Peggy I really enjoyed following along with you. What an incredible trip. All the memories you made. The kids will never forget this summer vacation.

Adam Hi Peggy, Thanks so much for following the blog! Comments like yours kept us connected as we were off on the road. It was reassuring knowing loved ones were keeping an eye out for us! When we were in Seneca Lake Julie asked about the trip my mom took. While I can imagine your dad's feeling traveling with two strong women such as you and my mom, it is hard to believe that the convention for women's rights was held in 1848, and we still haven't had a woman president! Change sure doesn't come quickly.

Peggy I have been really enjoying your blogs. What a fantastic trip and so many great memories. I saw your photos of Seneca Lake. We were there with your mom and my dad in 2006. My dad felt a little nervous when we left the suffragettes museum. He thought that perhaps your mother and I were a little too empowered! I purchased a book in the gift store about women that fought in the Civil Wat. Most of them pretended they were men and went with their husbands. Interesting.

BC Positively peachy prose AB....I certainly look forward to seeing it for myself some day. Driving back from a comparatively short road trip of 1900 miles with an hour left now...kids will never forget our efforts to compile more memories with them!

anna love you too. Anna

Tia Trish Awww! Amazingly some of my Indiana friends have also just been to Iowa’s Field of Dreams in the last week. Miss and love you ...

Culpster WHOA!!....Nick Sparks has competition traveling cross country...liking the blog brother

Culptser Well written my amígo -

Peggy What a fabulous story. So glad Anna was able to become the dog whisperer, Finn’s dog whisperer! She is a good dog and yes s little excitable.

Tia Trish Good words: apex and sojourn. Who broke the trailer? If you have time consider going to Crazy Horse, near Rushmore. The carving of this Indian chief on his horse is bigger than Rushmore but under construction. Still very impressive. All hail to the King of the Road!

Deb Happy anniversary to you and Julie!! Beautiful words!! Love reading your Blog about your adventures!!!

Adam Bailey Hi Peggy, Thanks for your comment. Maybe I will let CJ and Anna write a blog or two to give their perspective. I like that idea. And thanks for reminding me about the wedding cake your dad got us! You know that was really the only cake we had for our wedding, right? What a great memory. What a great guy!
