Life - RV Style

Late last night we said good-bye to our RV lifestyle. Bittersweet. This was the trip of a lifetime in so many ways and we will miss it. But, our comfy beds were calling our names which made it a little bit easier to bid "Adieu" to those bunks and close quarters!

Winding Down

As we enjoyed our last couple of days on the RV heading home we stopped at just a few last places of interest. We had dinner at the former "World's Largest McDonald's" in Vinita, OK which stretches across I-40 and we all had a great time.

We also stopped in Oklahoma City at the OKC National Memorial & Museum. It was difficult to see but, at the same time, a very beautiful memorial to the ones who lost their lives in the tragic bombing.

We also stopped at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to let the girls get an up close look at the massive arch up close. It was so funny as soon as neared the arch Kayla yells, "That's the biggest roller coaster ever!" We were all cracking up!

Finally, after some major traffic stress in downtown St. Louis we were on the road back home to Kentucky. We passed the state line around 10:30 pm and you could probably hear us all cheering from miles away. We were HOME!

The Bug Ranch - Not quite as cool as the Cadillac Ranch but still cool

A spin-off of the Cadillac Ranch, the VW Beetle Bug Ranch, is located in Conway, Texas. It was fun to stop and see although we didn't do any graffiti this time. We just enjoyed the bugs as they were.

The Cadillac Ranch!!!

We stopped in Amarillo at the famed Cadillac Ranch. And, if you've never heard of it or seen it you're really missing out! This turned out to be one of our favorite stops along the journey. It was super cool! There are 10 Cadillacs representing the "Golden Age of American Automobiles" buried nose down in a bleak wheat field off of Route 66 in Amarillo. We didn't know this at first but graffiti on the cars is encouraged. We didn't have any spray paint (at first) so we took a sharpie marker to write on the cars. Later we realized some spray paint had been left by other visitors so we took advantage and truly graffitied some of the Cadillacs! It was so much fun it was hard to leave.

Meteor Crater

Before leaving Arizona we had to stop to visit the world's best preserved meteorite impact site that is over 50,000 years old. The meteor crater is nearly a mile wide and 550 feet deep and amazing to see.
