Welcome
Home D-Dog! |
7/28
9:07 PM Eastern time, Clarksville, MD (my parents' house)
We're
here. After fighting the only real traffic that we encountered
on the entire trip on I-70, we pulled in here at about half past
3. Cross milestone #2 off the list! It was another uneventful
drive, other than the traffic and the temperatures in the upper
90's. It was the first time that we were really uncomfortable
riding in the Dog with the windows all the way down.
We arrived
to a welcome home sign out front and a great breeze of air conditioning
when we walked in the house. We unpacked my brother's stuff and
came inside for some beverages and rest. My sister, mother and
father all took a turn at the wheel without incident and my mom
and dad both got Jeep waves while we were out!
Tomorrow I'm
heading out early to make it around the Beltway and DC before
rush hour. It will also keep me from driving most of the way in
the 100° heat that we're supposed to see tomorrow. (Welcome
back to the east coast Eric!)
I can't wait
to get the Dog into the driveway at home for good and to see my
beautiful bride again! I figure I'd better start kissing up now.
It's going to take a while to work this little trip off
:)
