First night on the road back

We left after dinner at the reception to begin our 1400 mile trip home. On the first night we hoped to go 300 or 350 miles, but as we called ahead to hotels on I-80 into Nebraska, they were all full! So we stayed in Julesburg, CO, about 3 miles from the Nebraska border and only 260 miles away from Copper Mountain.

It was a Budget Host motel. Generally we steer away from motels with outside room doors and no free breakfast, but this one was very clean (newly painted and new carpets) and we were grateful to have a bed for the night.

In the morning I said Mass for the family and we had communion before setting out on the road. Before we left, I had to snap a picture of this sign in the motel room!
