Back home in Vermont! – Tuesday, July 29

We made it home at 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday night. Wow! What a trip. Some notable points, by the numbers were:

• 5960 miles on the Suburban
  
• 14 states and 1 province visited or traveled through
  
• 48 state license plates seen (never got Rhode Island or Hawaii) and 7 provinces
  
• 28 days (27 nights) away from home
  
• 15 nights in a tent
  
• 0 trips to the emergency room!
  

Things the kids want to do on the first day back: Jump on trampoline, catch up with friends, eat a breakfast of frozen waffles (after toasting, of course). We slept in, of course. Interestingly enough, no one had “unpack and clean” high on their list.

Thanks for joining us on this trip! Now let’s see if I can start posting the occasional though-provoking essay on contemporary issues.
