Safely Home at Last

Whew, we are now home. We are all very tired, but very glad to be home. Our trip home was uneventful for the most part. On Saturday we did enjoy driving through the Virginia countryside though. We went to a place called Polyface Farms. I don't know how many of you have heard of it, but the owner, Joel Salatin, and his farm are famous for focusing on organic farming. What that means is that all the animals are naturally raised so that there are no antiboitics, no hormones, none of those things that make even most grocery store meat not very healthy. He applies this natural approach to all his farming. So we decided to make a stop by there. It was fun to make a quick stop and see some of the farm. Here are a couple pictures.

We loved the beautiful Virginia countryside.

We caught an early flight back to Denver from Richmond through Atlanta. The flight went fine, and we got home without any trouble. The only thing that went wrong was that when we got back to our car at the hotel parking lot in Denver we found that our car had been broken into. The driver's door window was completely gone. Someone had come and cleaned the glass up but whoever broke in ransacked the whole car. Thankfully they didn't take anything but what little change was in the ashtray. So the only loss was the window. Of course we had known all along that we had to accept all responsibilty for the car, the hotel wasn't liable for anything. So, insurance is covering the cost of the window replacement which will take place tomorrow morning. However,that meant that we had to drive all the way from Denver back to Bayfield with no window. Dad didn't put anything over the window because he knew that that would mean that he would have to slow down in order to keep the plastic on. So we had a windy and at times cold ride home. But everything else went well. We are all very, very tired and glad to be home. Thank God that we got home safely and that the car was okay except for the window.
Thank you everyone for following our blog, I hope that you all enjoyed travelling with us.
