Griswold 2010 - HOME!

Yes...a few minutes after 6:00 PM EDT, we made it HOME!

We found that the heat that New England has been having, along with watering bans and such, had left our lawn brown, but we found this critter and another one that looked just like him in the back yard, enjoying some of the vegetation in the woods.

Even though we celebrated Rebecca's birthday on the real day...yesterday...we had a cake for her once we returned home. For the record, she got all of the candles out at one time, even though they were pretty well spaced.

Anyway, we can't believe it, but we're home. In the end, Griswold 2010 saw us venture through at least parts of Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. Of those, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia were new to the family as a whole, so now the family has made it to 47 states. (We're missing Alaska, Hawaii and California.) It took us over 5,000 miles and about 18-1/2 days to add these seven new states, but we had a great time!
