We are HOME! Our route took us a long day to Dallas the first night. On the way Rhonda found us a fantastic steak place in Decatur, Texas
Sweetie Pie’s (that’s him on the wall…)
Anyway, the steak was um, um good! And so was Rhonda’s salad!
The next day was another long day to Mobile, Alabama. We passed through a horrific lightening storm outside of Baton Rouge, LA but came through fine. After a good night’s sleep it was up and on our way back HOME to THE Villages. WE MADE IT!
SOME STATISTICS…
- In 30 days we drove 9,422 MILES – in a MINI Convertible
- We consumed 248 gallons of gas – maybe we’ll look into the new electric MINI before the next trip
- Stayed at 17 different sites – most for one night, twice we stayed for 4 nights
- Visited 6 National Parks, 1 National Memorial (Mt. Rushmore) and 1 Navajo Nation Tribal Park (Monument Valley)

- 6 visits to Walmart and Target to restock on apples, bananas and water
- 5 Car washes
- Zero tickets
- 1 slightly chipped windshield (damn stone!)
