Boot Camp Graduation Day 2

In which Southern Man and Southern Parents and Southern Sister begin the two-day road trip back to Southern State.

And that's really all there was to it. We left right after an early breakfast and drove until dark, ending up in Springfield at the University Plaza Hotel.

Home Sweet Home

An antique(ish) fire engine in front ot the hotel.

Southern Man promptly headed out to geocache and eat (at a Steak and Shake, which we don't have in Southern State) and then returned to soak in the hotel hot tub and swim with Youngest Nephew. With the longest leg of the drive done today we should be home by mid-afternoon tomorrow.
