Our last day at Acadia was a slow day, spent preparing for the ride home. Our buddies headed back out to the Bar Harbor side to check out the lighthouse--we've seen several lighthouses, so we passed. I'm glad that we did--just taking a moment to gather ourselves and put our house in order before heading out helps out so much. We did get together for one last dinner before we headed back to our respective homes.
When we visited King Arthur Flour on our way out of Vermont, I restrained myself a lot. On our route back home, I decided to hit King Arthur Flour once more and to get a variety of flours. They all say things about using them all for pizza crust, and I have decided to experiment and try to improve my homemade pizza nights with better crust. So that was our first stop on our way back to CO (the extended version).
While we could make the drive in maybe 5-7 very long days of driving, that option does not appeal. And instead of simply busting butt, we're continuing the adventure and checking out a few things on our way. Thus the trip to King Arthur, and then we also met up with my aunt Rita for dinner as we passed through. We have plans to hit four more national parks, meet up with some more family, and check out a few more parts of the country. We've gotten a bit of pushback from the kids, who are very done, but I think they'll enjoy the national lakeshores and parks and such. Plus, we're hitting Devil's Tower again, which is a family favorite. Onward Ho!
