Heading Home

The conference was officially over in the morning. We gathered for a final craft and lots of goodbye hugs. Then we checked out, somehow managed to get everything back into the car, and we headed to a nearby donut shop for breakfast, a funny little restaurant which served donuts, muffins and wonton soup. We stuck with the sweet stuff.



While we were dining, a couple came and asked if that was our polka dotted Passat out front, and when we confirmed, they told us about a VW show that was happening across town. We decided a detour was in order.






We picked out several VW buses that we loved, and we admired the insides of so many of them, fantasizing of what it might be like to have our own bus, traveling around the country together. The boys would love to do this. After eyeing the size of most of the interiors, I am somewhat skeptical, but I'm definitely willing to give it a try, at least on a vacation by vacation basis. Martin has been looking into renting a VW van or bus for a future adventure.

We arrived at the Maefield B&B in the early evening, and Sue welcomed us back, and offered to make us some dinner. We happily accepted and enjoyed pasta and salad and conversation with Sue. After dinner, we all sat around the campfire and roasted marshmallows.





In the morning, we got to visit with all the horses and even sit on one of them. This was such a treat, and it felt like so many wonderful things just flowed our way on this vacation: birds, cars, horses, funny little restaurants.





Leaving the farm.



Quick stop at the post office.



Another stop at a store that will remain nameless.



And one more very necessary pit stop.
