"Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel." -The Doors, "Roadhouse Blues"

On Sunday we started our journey back towards home. The day consisted mostly of driving. We drove through Kansas and made sure to make a stop in Wyatt Earp's old stomping ground. Dodge City. 


Eventually we made it to our destination--a campground in El Dorado State Park in El Dorado, Kansas. We were the only ones in the entire park, so we had our pick of the campsites and we had a great view! We set up camp as the sun was setting and grilled up some hot dogs for dinner before crawling into our sleeping bags for the night. 



We saw a rainbow during our drive on Sunday! 



The next morning we woke up bright and early (again!) so that we could journey to our final destination on our road trip. Memphis, Tennessee. We didn't originally plan for this to be part of our trip, but we decided to end an amazing trip in one of our favorite cities. Monday consisted mostly of another day of driving, but we knew the destination would be worth it in the end. We drove in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee en route to our hotel. We pulled into the city around 5 pm and after checking in began our first night of fun on Beale Street. I'll post about our adventures here when we hit the road for home tomorrow, but here is a sneak peak...
