We stayed at my sister’s place in Indiana last night. It was so good to connect again and just talk. It was also sad to say goodbye, but as we got out on the open road and typed Anchor Point Alaska into Google maps, a great thrill ran through me. We are headed home! Nothing but a long, long road separates us from our land at this point, and hopefully we can put in a bunch of miles every day now.
It has been fun traveling in a motor home – some of the time. When we left PA, within the first half hour the puppies had puked, peed, and pooped. Then it got hot in here. The smell and the heat combined began to drive me about nuts till we got to Ohio. Thankfully yesterday the puppies did very well. It seems like they have crate trained themselves! So yesterday it was only the heat to worry about, as well as Jasmine not sleeping. She won’t sleep more than about half an hour at a time when we’re moving. I’m not sure if the jiggling wakes her up, or the heat, or the noise, but it has been frustrating for me. Andy says I should just accept it and do the best I can with a grumpy baby, and I know he’s right.
Going to the bathroom in here is an adventure in itself! The dog crate is taking up most of the bathroom, so till you ease yourself around that, there is hardly even room to sit on the toilet. Plus, when we are on the road, the whole motor home rocks and sways, so keeping your balance while perched there can be quite the feat!
We are hoping to skirt out around Chicago today if possible.
You mentioned that you stopped at Kalona Iowa by some friends. I find that very interesting as I grew up in Kalona Iowa. So I know pretty much all the Amish and Mennonites around that area!! 😄I am now married and live in Holmes County OH.
