We left Grandma's house around 8 a.m. on Friday morning. It was a rainy morning. We thought we were going to be able to avoid it, but the system kept moving down on us. We were finally out of the rain when we reached Lebanon, MO. We drove through the Ozark Mountains and through Arkanas again. The views are nice but the roads are very hilly and there are not any rest areas. It was a pretty uneventful day, but it was a long day. We didn't reach our campground at Atlanta State Park in Atlanta, TX until 7 p.m. Oh, one funny thing did happen. We were just a few miles from our campground when Mom decided to follow Google's shortcut. We ended up on some back roads that were almost too small for the van. Mom thought it was funny. Dad did not.
The Atlanta State Park is nice with a big lake. The campground loop we stayed in was very small and the sites were not very spacious. We were really only there to sleep and the folks took showers. Mom said every time she went into the bath house, there were more bugs. It was hot outside, but the van was nice and cool.

We left the park around 9 a.m. The drive home was uneventful. We made a few stops for gas and one for lunch. We finally arrived home around 3:30 p.m. due to traffic slowdowns.
It is nice to be home, but we are all a little bored now. We have a bigger trip planned in the fall. We are attending two greyhound events and visiting several national parks on that trip.

We're glad to hear you made it home safe and sound.
