RV Adventure :: Days 13 & 14

Day 13 {North Platte, NE to Oxford, IA :: 511 Miles}
Day 14 {Oxford, IA to Milwaukee, WI :: 277 Miles}

We are home! Safe and sound. The rest of our vacation was spent driving and driving. And stopping at a couple universities along the way. My nephew is about to be a junior, so since we were driving through, we figured why not. We stopped by Drake University and University of Iowa. It's a start, and both are not bad.

As we were driving to Douglas, WY a couple days ago, we came across an old school bus at a rest stop with three dudes that we determined were in a band. They left before us, but we easily caught up to them -- my dad was stuck behind them for awhile, and we nicknamed the bus the Patchouli Express. A couple days later in the middle of Nebraska, what did we stumble upon, but the same exact bus. (This time they had their hazards on -- I hope they make it home). Anyhow, just googled it, and it turns out we were following The Busdriver Tour! Totally wish we would have known they were playing Douglas the day we were there. Then today as we were driving in Iowa, we saw a man who looked like he was doing some long distance riding, and he had his dog running next to him. Again, after a quick search, it turns out it's David Miller and his dog Max, riding all 50 states in 50 weeks. The people you come across during a road trip. So fun.

I'd been looking forward to this trip in a really long time. We really haven't travelled this much this year, and this particular road trip is something I've wanted to do for awhile. I know most of our crew was ready to come home, but honestly, two weeks flew by. Being in two motorhomes, with 10 people could have the potential of being a bit much. There were a couple moments of tension, but for the most part, we really got along great, and had just an incredible time. We saw so much, and are very lucky to have gotten to experience this.
