Got home early this morning, went to bed in my bed, and got some great sleep. These past 3 weeks were one of the highlights of my life, I've seen so much. I saw the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the Badlands, Yellowstone National Park, The Tetons, the Columbia River Gorge, Crater Lake, the Pacific ocean, the Redwoods. Stayed in California for a week. I got to visit an Great aunt while out there that I've never met and that my dad hasn't seen in 40 years. Disneyland was loads of fun. BTW, got to love Taco John's, that's some good stuff. My sister got sick so we didn't see as much on the way back but it was still pretty cool. Nevada was so desolate. The desert climate was really something to experience. We came through Denver at night, what a site to see lit up at night. Yesterday into early this morning we made our way from eastern Colorado all the way back home to northwestern Indiana, pulled into our driveway and the vacation was officially over. I thought I'd be depressed with the vacation being over and coming home but found I was glad to be home. Things are getting back to normal today. Had a tornado hit town a few weeks ago while away, gonna check it out tomorrow and see if there is any good evidence still outside of the clean up, and of course I'll get back to taking pictures of trains.
