“I’m coming home, I’m coming home, tell the world I’m coming home” -Skylar Grey, Coming Home Pt 2

We’re 25 minutes away from our house……….. The suspense is killing me (figuratively). We’re talking, listening to music, preparing. Tomorrow I have a soccer practice, and we’re going to get into the feel of things in Austin.

You know that feeling where you’re coming home after a year long trip around the US? No? Well, that’s what I’m feeling like. Hmmmm… In other news, our Freejourners Video is being published soon, and…. Oh yeah, you’re reading this. Big news. 😛

Back to soccer, school, friends, more school, and normal life. For a few months. WE’RE ALMOST HOME!!!!

Trip Post #50 Part 1: TOMORROW!!!!!

Location: Sachse, TX

Geocaches: 315

Tomorrow…. 1 day until we return. Wow.

August 23rd, 2014

Tomorrow we will:

  • See our friends
  • Take our last long drive for a while
  • Move into a house
  • Go to 7-11 (Hopefully)
  • Be sad
  • Be happy
  • Reflect
  • Eat
  • Listen to music
  • Pack up
  • Unpack

 

 

We’re at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Sachse, TX, and packing up to leave tomorrow. We’re moving back into our neighborhood for 3 months, play a soccer season, and see all of our friends again. I found a Geocache for the 7 souvenirs of August (Webpage) today (I found a multi-cache), and we went to our cousin Austin’s 4th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. I’m at 315 Geocaches, I hope to find more in Austin while we’re there.

I can’t wait to visit all our favorite restaurants, go to our favorite places (nothing compared to anything we’ve seen on this trip. Even Emerald Pools (Zion) was better than most places), bike around the neighborhood, Geocache, play soccer, and…. I’m forgetting something. Oh yeah! Etc.!

I’m wondering if it will be the same? Our neighborhood might, but I don’t know about everything else. Well, once you finish reading this, you’re not done yet! Read Part 2, which will be written by the time you’re reading this!

Trip Post #49: Back to Texas…

Location: Oklahoma City, OK

Geocaches: 306

August 4th, 2014

We’re coming back to Dallas today, driving from Oklahoma. Today we checked out of our last hotel room, and we’re going to our last National Park (Well, actually National Recreation Area, and to be really specific, Chickasaw National Recreation Area).

It’s always sad coming home from a trip, especially one this big. All the memories…. Spokane, Seattle, Snowboarding, Salt Lake City, Running, Soccer, Durango, Hiking, Snowdown, St George, Angel’s Landing, That one crazy night, etc.

When everyone reads this, we’ll probably be in Austin, so….. Hi!

5:19 PM: We’re back in Texas, we got in at 4:07 (just for later record). Just thinking, that we’re about to re-enter the world of our old life. 6 minutes to the restaurant…. We got a Junior Ranger Badge from Chickasaw, and it’s cool, we got a patch too.

Trip post #48: Last (notable) National Park

Written August 1st, but saved as a draft because we’re really close to Texas and we didn’t want you to know we’re coming back.

Location: Rocky Mountain National Park

Geocaches: 303

We were in Rocky Mountain National Park and we’ve seen a lot today. It’s pretty cold, and we were at 12,005 ft above sea level. This is a national park with its own Junior Ranger building!

I got my National Park Tokens, and a Junior Ranger badge, and we hiked 1.1 miles to a lake, where we saw a lot of elk. We took a picture at the last amazing view on our trip, and it was kinda sad. So now we’re driving to our hotel, and tomorrow we’re going to Oklahoma.
