The trip was fantastic. We had such a good time. Solstice really seemed to enjoy the time spent w/ Jean & Tiffany which makes me happy because I was afraid she was bored. As far as the drive home is concerned, along w/ the licence plated already listed, we saw the following: Illinois, Alaska, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, & Nebraska. All in all, 33 states & 1 province. The music on the way back consisted of a nice collection of rock, country, & classical:
Friday -
Allman Brothers: Fillmore Concerts
Grateful Dead: Reckoning
Rachmaninoff (2 times)
Beatles: One
Violent Femmes
Saturday-
Car Talk
Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me
Ryan Adams: Ashes & Fire (2 times)
Ryan Adams: Heartbreaker (2 times)
Ryan Adams: Jacksonville City Nights (2 times)

*Turning off if US 27, Sara: "Oh My God, we're gonna die!!!" She almost missed the turn & then may have overreacted a tad.
** We pulled off into a fire station parking lot to see the arch & a huge dog came out of the woods. There was a lot of noise which suggested another huge dog, but it was actually a tiny lap dog. They were funny friends.
*** After turning around on Redneck Blvd.

## Sara had to explain to the server that she isn't actually alergic to toast, but rather to the gluten
