Vacation - Last Day

We arrived home late last night and consider the vacation a success.  We left Nashville around mid-day after our last breakfast together. I think the kids will missing having chocolate muffins to start the morning.  I'll also miss having breakfast ready at any time in the morning too!

So we packed up the family truckster and headed for home. We popped a movie in the DVD player to keep the kids happy and away we went. We stopped about 7 hours into the drive in Arcola, IL at the Robey family's house to have dinner and let the kids run around. It worked out perfectly as we could say hello and the kids were worn out when we left. We got home about 11:00 and the van still needs to be unpacked. It's always good to be home but being on vacation is always nice. I am sure every parent wants the vacation to go perfectly and like Clark Griswold, try everything to make that happen.  With 3 kids, there were some trying moments and frustrating ones but overall we had a really good time. Donna and I made it through so another notch on our parenting belt.  It gives us confidence now to start planning the next vacation.  We mentioned the words Disney but that might be us being on a vacation high.  For now, we will relish on the memories of Nashville!
