We're Back...

The fat lady has sung! Our vacation is over, boohoohoo! The two weeks flew by and went way too fast. We fought it as best we could but reluctantly we're back at work today. No luck at hitting the big Powerball or Megamillions jackpots, alas.

We logged a round trip total of 2,008 miles and traveled the following -
Day1: Depart home, MA. to Lancaster, PA. (408 miles)
Day2: Departed Lancaster; Took in Gettysburg then to Charleston, W.VA. (426 miles)
Day3 - Day8: Visited St. Albans and some family then to Johnson City, TN. (306 miles)
Day9: Departed Johnson City to Scranton, PA. (584 miles)
Day10: Departed Scranton to home (284 miles)

We had a great trip - I'm glad we went! Emilie was a trooper and did a fantastic job traveling, especially since her portable DVD player died just a couple hours into Day1. I'm happy and proud to have been able to recreate the trip I remember taking as a kid with JoAnne and Emilie. To be able to share that same experiences with them, to show them where my family grew up, and to introduce them to family they had yet to met.

As the song "Take Me There" by Rascal Flatts says -

I wanna roll down Main Street, the back roads

Like we did when you were a kid

What made you who you are?

Tell me what your story is

Also, a VERY BIG thank you to our extended family in TN for EVERYTHING that you did for us!!
