After leaving Amarillo, we drive to my dad's house in Boyd, TX - conveniently halfway between Amarillo and home - and spent the afternoon with him, his wife Barbara and grand kids Orion and Adrianna.
After several hours of chat and a fine roast dinner, we proceeded east towards I-20 with a goal of getting past Dallas during a non-rush hour period. Once we got through town unimpeded, David had his road head on and we set our sights on Benton. We arrived home at 2:00am.
In summary, the time we were gone - two days short of ten weeks - was the right amount of time for our journey. We joked at the onset that we'd probably annoy each other being in one another's hip pocket for that long, but we truly enjoy and appreciate each others company. All disagreements were either intentional ribbing or insignificant. We didn't see everything that we wanted and definitely made notes as to where we need to go next time and those places that were do-overs. There were many!
We so enjoyed the friends, family and strangers that we encountered along the way. We are so blessed and fortunate to have had this opportunity. And as expected, we're already planning the next journey!
