The End (Of Epic Summer 2011 Vacation)

After leaving California, we headed to Las Vegas to see one of Roby's friends and my friend, Steph.  We had lunch with Roby's friend and his wife, then had dinner with Steph and her family.  It was wonderful seeing friends, I just wish we were able to spend more time there.




















We had many stops along the way let take breaks, let the dogs out, and get a few hours of sleep.



While going over a pass, we encountered a bit of a snow storm...at the end of June.










And this my friends, is our trip odometer when we pulled into our garage.


 Five thousand...seven hundred...thirty three point seven miles.  

We drove from our home to Walla Walla, Wa to Ferndale, Wa to Kingston, Wa, to Eugene, Or to Yucaipa, Ca, to Las Vegas and back home.  It ended up being about seven days (out of 28) in my little Toyota Matrix.  Most of the time with two adults, two kids, two dogs, and all our luggage. I thought we would get extremely irritated with each other and tired of being in the car.  Yes, we got tired of being in the car, but it was manageable.  I'm not saying I want to do that again any time soon, but it was ok and WELL worth it!
