Unfortunately part of road trips include the drive home...which always seems to take longer than on the way to your destination. Plus it includes somewhat of a letdown as the realization sets in that your holiday is almost over.
The good news is the drive - although almost 12 hours on Saturday and another 6 on Sunday - was pretty uneventful (which is always a good thing) and both days were stellar weather-wise.
Plus we were even able to fit in a couple of quick stops along the drive - one to the Sierra Trading Co Outlet Store in Meridian, ID on Sat. and to two wineries in which we belong to their wine clubs (and to pick up and taste a little wine) in Prosser, WA.
Our overnight ended up in La Grande, OR - where thankfully there was a room available...and where of course we found the only brewery (Mt. Emily's) in town. The place reminded me a little of Cheney, WA - which makes sense as it's the home of Eastern Oregon University.
All-in-all a most successful and incredibly wonderful road-trip - totalling 2779 miles of driving and a combined total of oh - about 700 pictures between the two of us. For anyone interested in seeing some of our National Parks and seeing some stellar scenery - we would whole-heartedly recommend a trip to Southern Utah (before Memorial Day or after Labor Day to avoid the crowds;)
Till next time...
