Week 18 and home!
We are in Sleeping Bear National Park in Michigan and long to get into a kayak and paddle one of the many rivers, so after getting instructions we leave.
Next day we move further south but always hugging the shoreline.
We are camped at Lake Michigan Recreation Area in the woods but the beach is a quick bike trip away.
We come back for lunch and to give Daisy a walk and some quality time.
This time we stay to watch the sun set.
Next day guess who is primed to go swimming. These sand dunes are huge and Jamie slid all the way down to the water!
We move further south and just can't help stopping at the many produce stands.
Next day we leave Michigan and enter Indiana on our way to visit daughter, Meredith and her husband Michael Ray who have just purchased a house in Indianapolis.
Meredith and Michael Ray decided to adopt a puppy while adjusting to their new house. Mr. Green (their primary dog) who usually does not have an opinion about anything is not sure it was a good idea.
We offer to help them get settled.

For breaks Meredith and I would do some obedience lessons with Boots. He was a very good pupil.
Next day.

Lots of people working to get this place in order!

I enjoyed my breaks by playing with the puppies.
The last day with Meredith and Michael Ray.
We say our good-bye's to Meredith and Michael Ray and head for home.
We pushed hard (402 miles today) to get to Cooper Rock because it is becoming a tradition to stay here either our first night out or the night before we return home. 
Next day it is back to drive, drive, drive.
Looks like HOME!
The vines had over taken everything so we could hardly see the door!
We were anxious to see Kimberly and Brian so we jumped into the Toyota immediately to drive to Bethesda.
The next morning we get to face the reality of being away…
Four months of mail sans junk mail.
Adjustment time.
The trip started April 15th, we arrived home August 23rd. We traveled a total of 12,000 miles!
What a wonderful trip and we are so glad you could come along!
