Well, we’re back home safe and sound, after a very busy vacation. We got up at 4 AM Central Time, 5 AM Eastern, got ready and hit the road by 6 AM (Eastern). Arrived home about 7 PM Central Time (Yes, Tim drives REALLY fast! 🙂 ) Had a very uneventful trip home, except for the persistent problem with the flooding of the rear floorboard in the car due to a clogged AC line somewhere. Tim seems determined to buy me a new car soon!
We still have to unload and unpack and there will be lots of laundry and catching up tomorrow. I will have to go get groceries – we have nothing in the house, no bread, no milk, nothing. 😀
I’m also very saddened to report that apparently we didn’t get much, if any, rain while we were gone and most of my flowers are dead. The grass is very dry but hopefully will bounce back with the sprinklers on them tomorrow. The new maple tree that we planted in April is looking withered, but hopefully will also bounce back. The lorapetalums we relocated appear not to have survived either. I hope after several hours of watering in the morning that some things do try to come back. I imagine I’ll spend Saturday morning at Lowe’s, picking out new plants to replant all my deck and fence planters with. 🙁
I’m looking forward to a good nights sleep in my own bed. Will try to write an update tomorrow about our final day in DC, which was yesterday, Monday (July 4th). Check back later!
hooray you’re back! but tim needs to be reprimanded for driving so fast!
Actually, he did really good. We just didn’t hit any traffic or snags, had good weather and stopped just a couple of times. We combined food, gas and bathroom breaks and only stopped for 5 or 10 minutes a couple of times. He did really good, and got us home safe and sound, no tickets, and no problems! 🙂
well, i think maybe he needs a ticket, to slow him down some!
Glad that y’all are back safe and sound!
