The final leg of our trek was spent with my parents in Peoria. We could not get over the changes to our old stomping grounds! It definitely got us thinking about moving back as we spent time with old friends like the Olivers and my old singin' buddies.

Another great night that I failed to photograph was a Colyar shin-dig with my Dad's side of the family. It was great to see everyone and catch up on the news. Some folks we hadn't seen since we moved! Plus, No Bake Cookies = Good times.
My folks were great hosts and they gave very convincing arguments for moving to Peoria. Rick and I spent several hours driving around neighborhoods and looking at homes by the new temple and Thunderbird Mountain. There are some great deals to be had in the Valley right now for home buyers!
All in all, our trek west was a fantastic experience. Spending time with family was definitely the most rewarding part of the trip, but we enjoyed the change of scenery too. It was sooooooo good to be near the mountains again after all the flatness of Northwest Ohio.
Our travels home were completely uneventful. We were just plain tuckered from all the fun so we got a lot of snoozing done on the flight to Detroit.
Though we arrived after dinnertime, we couldn't wait to pick up our Shelby from the doggy sitter's house. Man! We sure missed our funny little mutt!
Vacations are the best, but being home feels good too!
