Road Trip 2013---10th (and last) day

Well this is going to do it.  Last day of our trip.  We took a little 10 mile bike ride around and through the Nicolet Forest.  It had its up and downs, but neither the Mrs or myself fell or are too much worse for wear.  We'll see how we feel tomorrow.  We spent a little time walking around Fish Creek, then decided to head home.

Of course, we are never able to just drive home, so we stopped at Curley's Pub for some lunch.  And you can't really pass through Green Bay without stopping at the shrine.  Good meal and service, wonderful atmosphere.  They must always have people there.

One last stop on the trip for old times sake, so it was off to Oshkosh for root beer and ice cream at Ardy's & Ed's.  Place has always been there as far as I know, so it's kind of a touchstone for us.

So that's it.  2871 miles, 9 states, 10 days.  Saw a lot of things, met some interesting people, had just a wonderful time.  This is the first time that we have really traveled without the kids, and I must say it is different.   I' not saying it's better, but we'll be getting used to it.  And although our trip is done, our summer certainly isn't.  We have concerts to go to, and county fairs.  And of course the State Fair will be here in just a couple of weeks.  We have a couple of ballgames to get to, and the kids will both be home for a couple of short visits.  All this, plus the usual shenanigans with the neighbors will keep us busy for the next couple of months I am sure.  It's been fun, and we're fortunate to be able to do it.
