The Last Day of our Adventures - Going Home

Our last day on the road began with breakfast, then we would scout out Dodge City, Kansas before driving home.

Another funny story:  At breakfast Jerry asked if anyone had a dry handkerchief because he had become emotional and cried during the Republican Convention speeches that had been given the  night before.  Everyone had a good laugh!

Of course, longhorn cattle played a very important role in Dodge City's history

We were at Yukon close to lunch time so Alfredo's, a Mexican restaurant, sounded like a good idea.  

Since Amberlea lives about 10 minutes away, we called her to see if she and Jett could join us for lunch.  They could!

Our next stop was Joe and Margaret's house.  Time to unload their things.

After leaving them Jerry's house was next.

The last stop - Mel and Cathy's house!

We were so thankful for a safe trip, the time spent together, our time with Donny,  as well as the opportunity to see so many wonderful sights, scenery and historical places!

A trip of a lifetime!!!
