-CAME HOME!




We drove the Honda 2500 miles in less than 10 days! We already have a list of things we'll need to do on our next trip (or 2 or 3...because I doubt a roadtrip of this magnitude will ever happen again). But it was a blast! I really enjoyed the quality time with Joe. And I have to say the trip probably would not have been possible without the iPod and the GPS system.

How fun! You are so cute Brittney! And cudos to you because even with Scott, I don't know if I could have sat in a car for that long.
