Our Final Two Days - The Trip Home

After a wonderful evening and breakfast in Cody, Wyoming on Saturday we got started home.  Initially we were going to return the way we came, which would have been the shortest route, but after several conversations with other fellow travelers and the encouragement of our friend Justin who is originally from Wyoming, we decided to take a couple detours and enhance our trip home.

Our first trip was up through "Big Horn" National Forest in Wyoming which was an amazing drive up near Sheridan, Wyoming.

Then after driving through Big Horn, we decided to go home the northern route through South Dakota in order to see the Badlands as well...

The Badlands were amazing and we can't wait to take our family back there someday in the future. 

Oh, I forgot to mention that we did stop and visit the legendary Wall Drug while in South Dakota.  A destination that everyone must eventually make their way to...

We stayed the night in Sioux Falls and drove the remaining 600 miles home on Sunday.  It was good to be home!!!

Julie and I were so thrilled with the opportunity to have a week away.  Julie has stated that Wyoming quickly became one of her favorite places.  

I had not ventured across the country on this type of road trip since 1998 and I loved it.  It was awesome being able to share life on the road with Julie.  We hope you enjoyed following along with our trip and appreciate the interest you our friends and family have taken in our venture.
