The Millennium Falcon (now referred to as Millie by Maia) didn't disappoint, with no major problems, she took Solo and family across boiling hot deserts, 12k peaks and 2200 miles safe and sound.
A microcosm of how God works, taking seemingly broken down vessels and bringing forth great fruits, thank you Lord!
It's been a fun filled adventure, with God adding unplanned adventures, new friends and fantastic memories at every turn.
I hope you enjoyed following along, here are the final pictures on the final stages and the trip home.
Thanks to my dad, MegaMel, for hosting us across the mid-west journey.
Princess Maia arrives to big hugs...we missed her terribly!
Downs...Colin Downs. C.T. looked dashing in his tux for my sisters wedding.
Maia gets her first taste of co-piloting the Falcon.
Fort Collins is a very well put together town, this is the local water park, situated within the city park which included a fishing lake and train. That's Colin and his cousin Summer.

A little river running in Fort Collins.
Taken from over 12k in the sky, in Estes Park...I'm amazed the Falcon made it, not too many 2o year old RV's making that run.
Dakotah, Jordyn, Maia, Colin and Thea before the wedding.
The full family!
My little sister Tracy and I. I took a little flack for wearing brown to a black and white wedding.
On the road back, we stopped for a little disc golf in Glenwood Springs.
This is the Hot Springs Park I was going to go to, before I found out it was a fortune. I asked the gardner if he knew of a smaller spot. He told us about the Hippi-Springs. "But, the people down there are a little shakey."
I said, "Perfect".
So we took a secret trail, down under the highway, where the hippi-pools were. And we were not disappointed. The excess hot springs water, before even entering the public pools, gets diverted down the pipe and back into the river. Locals have built up rock baths amidst the overflow, and it was perfect.
Thea is a natural climber, with her super human strength and ripped up the climbing wall.
And she's a pretty good fisher-girl too. Here she is in Telluride.
A main theme of the trip was fishing, and Colin decided to upgrade to Fly-Fishing, he took to it like a natural, and we caught some trout first try. It's super fun. He got his new pole for his birthday, which we celebrated on the road and in Glenwood Springs! Happy 10th Birthday Colin! I love you buddy!
WOW!!!!! THAT WAS FUN!
I can't wait to do it again...maybe next year, the North West!
God Bless you all!
