I'm Home! We made it...

and I'll post all about our adventures but first...

...a moment of silence for my check book after galavanting around the country.

And there was some serious galavanting going on. Total days on vacation = 13. Total miles logged = 2198.85 (Not counting 200 nautical miles in my brother's airplane). Total places we laid our head = 7. Total calls to Darren back at home for moral support = 36. Total times I heard the phrase, "Are we there yet?" = 735.

{s-i-g-h}

So I'll blog about it eventually (I got some great pictures and video). But after calculating the numbers above I'm worn out. I think I need a vacation.

Welcome back! Just in time for me to leave for my 3 weeks of all of that. Last year I did most of it alone...this year Scott will be tortured right along with me! Hope to see you before I go!

We are glad you made it home. We are always so glad to see you and I think you are awesome for braving it without Darren for so long too. I found the milk in the fridge and the soap in the shower and I am so sorry if my kids got yours sick I hope everyone is well soon.

I can't wait to hear about your adventure, and I can't believe you did it alone! By the way, we just got back from CA and gas was $4.65 a gallon, yikes!!

Glad you're back! I checked out your kids' pics on Katie's Portraits and they are soooo good! She does an amazing job! I can't believe how grown up that first picture of Parker is!

I regularly do this craziness of long roadtrips as the only adult. (Secretly I absolutely revel in it!!) I understand that coming home from vacation makes you feel like you need a vacation!! I'm getting ready for my own roadtrip now. Hope to read you post before I go, as I won't have internet for a few weeks once I leave! I'll take any pointers, too! :)
