Home again!

We left Norfolk about 6:30 a.m., and got home a little after 6 p.m. - a long day, but it's always nice to know that "home" is waiting for you at the end.

The rain during the drive today varied from mildly annoying to "I can't believe I'm still driving in this stuff!" Mostly that was because there was never any place to pull off. Sometimes the rain was incredibly hard, and others it was just the very thick spray kicked up by the cars and trucks. We took a fairly good lunch break at a Cracker Barrel, so the almost 12-hour drive wasn't too bad. It was mostly interstate. We stopped the last time for gas in Knoxville, and there was just light rain after that - and no other problems with the roads.

We drove over 4,000 miles on this trip - and that was considering that we had lots of days when we weren't driving at all. We did four really long days, and the rest was in shorter stretches.

I've got the laundry ready to do tomorrow. I hate going to Walmart on Sunday, but I'm going to go early tomorrow - there is nothing in the refrigerator! And then I pick up the mail on Monday - that'll take ages to go through. But it's still good to be home!
