6 Bottelberghe's: Vacation Day 13 and 14

We spent the last two days of our vacation in the car. Sunday was spent getting through the mountains of Colorado and across the state into Nebraska! We got to North Platte, NE at 11pm. Checked into the Hampton Inn and got some sleep before getting up this morning and heading the rest of the way home! We got caught in a heavy thunderstorm in Colorado yesterday afternoon but the rainbow afterwards was SPECTACULAR! Today was a LONG day but we made it home at around 4:20 this afternoon. After being gone for 14 days, 9 hours and 35 minutes, seeing our house as we crested the hill was a total highlight for all of us! We crossed (or touched) 10 states, put on 4,838.2 miles from start to finish and took over 1,200 pictures. It was the trip of a lifetime and we had a BLAST! There are so many fun things to remember and laugh about the whole thing and we will be talking about it for years to come! I am thankful God blessed us with this time together and that I am on a chemo break to enjoy the time together and seeing some beautiful countryside! Thank you for journeying with us on vacation! I hope you enjoyed and lived the experience with us! I will post some of my favorite pictures over the next few days but will end this entry with a couple of highlights from the last couple of days! One last thing.....we played the license plate game while on vacation and came home with 48 out of 50 states seen.....any guesses on which two we missed? Leave a comment with your answer. I will post which two it was that we missed in a couple of days! Until next time....blessings!
