We are finally coming to the end of our Griswald style vacation. Just for the record, I don’t necessarily recommend dragging a four day trip out into four weeks of photo posts. It’s really hard to remember the details of the last day or two once three or four weeks of daily minutiae have worked their way into all the crevices of one’s brain. Regardless….we’ll give it a shot.
On day four we went to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, and then started the long trek home. We drove into, through, and out of a spectacular (and rather frightening) western Kansas thunderstorm with a tornado running 9 miles to our south (thank you western Kansas meteorologist for the frequent updates) for a good 30 minutes. We never saw the tornado – it was pitch black outside, only heard reports of it and scanned our phones and GPS and the trusty old atlas trying to find the small towns they were referring to. God carried us through while my prayer life got a workout. We made it home safely and I’ve never been so happy to not share a room with my children. 🙂
