Homeward Bound (Day 9)

The last official day of our vacation. (Thank goodness...because not only was I tired of the vacation at this point, but I'm actually quite tired of writing about it as well. :-P)

Day nine was simple enough, we were on the road, somewhere in the central portion of the state, heading back North to the San Francisco International Airport.

Lots and lots and lots of driving.

California is a pretty state. Lots to see and do. I wasn't impressed with the cities...obviously. The countryside was nice though. We did a lot of driving that last day through the more "farm friendly" portions of the state. Lots of roadside stands full of farm fresh goodies. We were tempted to stop at quite a few of them, but we didn't really have time. :-(

Not a lot of photos either. I'll go through mine and see if I have any from Day 9. There may have been a few from the little town we spend night at, but I'll check and see.

It was a nice drive...just a long one. :-/

We made it to the airport with about an hour to spare. Good thing too because it took us a lot longer to get boarded in San Francisco than it did in Ohio. I also got lost...in the airport. Go figure. I was trying to navigate to where I needed to drop off my rental car and just couldn't quite find the right parking lot. I called the information desk of the rental company for help, and they weren't any help at all. So I gave up and did it on my own. Found it much easier that way anyway...maybe I don't need to take too many directions from folks. Who knows? At any rate, we dropped off the rental (and for the record, I've never heard anything else out of them about the wreck in Arizona, so I am assuming it is all taken care of...at no cost to me. Thank goodness!) and found our way to our gate. Five hours or so later and we were landing back home.

Ahhhh...it was nice to smell that Kentucky air and ride on those familiar roads. Seems like in no time at all we were back home. And I was fast asleep for a LONG nap in my own comfy bed. :-)

*Pictures soon...hopefully.
