Home Again By the Numbers

In 10 days we traveled 2300 miles through 2 states, saw license plates for 27 states, took over 1100 photos, walked countless miles through 2 theme parks and 1 zoo, swam 2 1/2 times, stayed in 3 different motels,spent hours visiting with 2 cousins, 2 friends, and 1 brother, came home with over 8 piles of laundry, 2 tired but happy kids, 2 happy but tired parents, 1 really dirty car, and too many stories and memories to tell today.

And as much as we all enjoyed the adventure, if asked I believe all of us would count home as our number 1 place to be.
