This is how our trip back home to Kentucky started this morning. We thought we might be in for another long trip home. While it was a long trip (about 12.5 total hours) the weather wasn't nearly as bad as the way up to New York.

For the first few hours things looked like the pic, or at least with wintry slushy conditions, but once we hit Erie and headed south things started to clear.

It's good to be home.

Praise the Lord for a great trip and great Christmas vacation with family. We loved seeing everyone, and even got to see much of our extended family too this time.

We are so blessed!

We made it.

What a trip! It ended up being a 2-for-1... we went to the Smokies to stay one night and head back to our home, and ended up with an extra night there for an extended mini-vacation!

So, after Gatlinburg, candy, sleep (sort of), breakfast, Apple Barn, WonderWorks, broke-down van, sleep, breakfast, fixed van (yea! thanks to great service by Carr's), Wendy's... we're home! And very thankful for the trip and how it all worked out. God's hand of favor and kindness was with us throughout the trip, even through the troubles with the van. What seemingly was a negative situation turned very much for the good, as it seems is the nature of the Lord.

So, for your enjoyment, a few pics from my phone of one part of our trip - our adventure visit to WonderWorks!
