Scribner/Wayne, NE
Feb. 16th-18th
Last, but not least, our final stop was Wayne. On Tuesday night, we made a pit stop at the family farm in Scribner on the way to celebrate some very important birthdays-- my mom turned 60 on Jan. 21st, her dad turned 90 on Jan. 28th and I turned 30 on Feb. 15th.
My aunt Becky cooked up a great meal for us and Kevin even drove in from Lincoln. This might not seem like a major feat, but Nebraska has seen so much snow and wind lately that some of the highways between Omaha and Wayne were still one-way in parts because of huge drifts. Crazy.
The biggest surprise of the whole trip? My dad actually got our snowmobile running. Our 35 year-old, been wrecked by Craig, snowmobile. We had an awesome time tearing it up with my dad.
We also got to see Karen and Tony and Adam and Natalie. When we go home to Nebraska, I get my money's worth.
The Homeland Tour was a great success. I'll admit, it was A LOT of traveling-- six flights and around 14 hours in the car-- but it was just what we needed. We love Portland and all, but when we go home, to both of our homes, we feel right in place like we never left. Homeland, we heart you.
