Crazy to think it's finally over, but here's the stats...

  • 5996 kilometres
  • 5 days
  • 8 provinces
  • 5 time zones
  • More fill ups of gas than I care to count
  • 2 moose
  • 2 wolves
  • 1 car accident (I saw it happen in front of me and missed being hit by a few seconds...No one was hurt thankfully!)
  • 1 prairie dog run over (R.I.P.)

But most important...

1 VERY grateful husband and father, made it home safe to be with his family after months away.

As much as I love driving, I'm glad it's over...But I'm taking off to British COlumbia in a few weeks as well for some work.

So the next 10-12 days are going to be spent, unpacking and of course, spending a LOT of time with my family.

Thanks for coming along for the ride with me. I hope you guys enjoyed the highlights :)
