We are leaving the Motel 6 in Sheridan, WY, and heading east and south to the Super 8 in Sioux City, IA. We should be home by Friday afternoon! Vacation is great but it is also good to get home to our comfy beds, habits and routines.

Arrived in Sioux City, IA, about an hour ago and went to Outback for supper. We are checked into our room now at the Super 8 and back on Central time. We lost an hour along the way which made the 9.5 hour drive seem even longer. We lucked out that none of the road construction along the way caused much for delay.
