We loved to travel and enjoyed every minute of visiting with the family. That said, it’s always nice to be home. Especially when there are two week old bunnies waiting to greet you.

A long day
16 hours of travel time and nearly 15 on the road. At over 1000 miles it was our longest road trip day ever. We are very grateful to Jim for doing all the driving on the entire trip! We offered to take over, but he declined
We see the mountains!
We don’t often travel at night, but the hotel options were not great and we all decided it would be better to push for home. The storm made the sunset incredible and this was our first glimpse of home.
And then there was more…
It looked like just some heavy rain and a light sky so we got back on the interstate. Apparently the hail was not done. I guess we will get a second new windshield this month!

And then there was hail…
The sky got lighter and we thought we were driving out of the storm, but that’s when the hail started. A first for all of us to pull off and hope that the truck was out of the line of fire of the bigger chucks. Mostly small stuff with a few baseball mixed in. The highway was at a standstill with everyone taking cover under the overpass. It was hard to capture but suffice to say it was like nothing we have ever seen. And we’re very grateful for the truck and not a motorcycle!

Storm
There was an amazing storm over the plains. The lightning show was incredible! Alix did a great job of capturing it. I’m too slow.
