Well, after almost six months on the road, we are finally heading home. Sometime tomorrow, we'll pack up the minivan, feeling SO thankful that none of the luggage will need to be weighed, and drive north. And after 4.5 hours plus however long it takes for bathroom breaks and the border crossing, we'll be home.
It's sort of surreal to think of that... that after so much time of travel and transition, we'll be walking in our own door tomorrow, looking for the mountains of Waterton in the distance from our dining room, cooking in our own kitchen, and sleeping in our own beds. It's all just a drive away.
It's not like the last months have some terrible hardship we've had to endure -- not like we've been at war or even on an endless business trip. In every way, it was an incredible experience. In fact, I am a little worried that our Lethbridge friends will quickly grow tired of our France stories... and I am already dreaming of ways to go back. But at this point in our travels, I am ready to be home. We all are.
And we should finally get there tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know how the last leg of this long and wonderful journey goes.
