Day 15: Home Sweet Home

This morning we woke up in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and tonight we will sleep in our OWN BEDS. I am writing this blog from the comfort of my bedroom at home. We didn't do much today outside of driving, riding, the occasional pit stop, and more driving and riding. We did, however, stop in Louisville, KY, on the way home to pick up a key to my new apartment. (I also would like to apologize that there are no hats today; Daddy and Fowler grew weary of them.)

Around Nashville, we decided it was time for supper. We drove through the traffic and upon entering Franklin stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner. It was your average Cracker Barrel, or so we thought, but it also happened to be the dinner choice of Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend. They walked in, right past our table, and Mom said, "That's Miley Cyrus." The entire trip we've been making associations of the people we see to the people we know back home, so I assumed this was another look-a-like. We noticed the restaurant staff getting a little giddy and realized Mom was right and it was indeed Miley Cyrus. We gawked of course, but tried to keep it cool and didn't do anything as outrageous as ask for a photo or autograph. We continued on with our meal as she ate her chicken-and-dumplins. At one point she craned her neck and looked back at our table. I'm sure she was thinking, "Hey sweetie-- those are the people from the Today Show!"

Well, we have finally made it home. After 3,879.9 miles, over 2000 photos, approx. 21 athletic facilities and 10 colleges, 16 states and 8 state capitols, plus 12 hotels and countless interstates, we are home. Real life resumes tomorrow as the fast food detox sets in. We are so excited so many of you were able to come along on the journey with us. Thanks for reading and also for your comments and feedback!

Until our next adventure, happy trails.
