Texarkana to home! With a few stops in between.
Thank
you to all who have been following our progress as we travelled around
the country. Our travel blog is still available at
www.mytripjournal.com/herringfamily . I'm not sure how much longer it
will be up, but at least a couple of weeks.
Since I last wrote, we:
* Had our longest travel day: 914 miles from Texarkana, TX, to just north of Albuquerque, NM.
* Went to Mesa Verde in Colorado and saw the cliff dwellings.
* Stopped by Four Corners, where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona meet.
* Were amazed by the Grand Canyon: Average width is 10 miles, depth 5000 feet.
* Passed through Las Vegas--seen enough!
* Went to Legoland in Carlsbad, CA.
* Visited family in northern California.
* Got home at 11:00 Saturday night.
* Tremendously enjoyed being back in church Sunday morning.
* Restarted life with an exciting stream of teenagers visiting us--we love them all!!!

Dear Lord,
Thank You for being with us the entire trip.
Thank You for only one close call in traffic, and for Your intervening hand that opened the path of safety.
Thank You that we had so much concentrated time with our children. Help all of us to maintain that closeness as we begin to scatter back to normal activities.
Thank You that I still get to teach three of them at home this year. Help me to do so in the manner You know is best for each of them.
I am so grateful!
Amen
The final memory verse of the trip: Proverbs 17:14
"Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam, so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out."
