The New Hampshire contingent (bo(red) and I) got home around
2 a.m. this morning. We drove straight through...1 more blast through
the Dragon then home. 18 hours in total!

We hit a HUGE storm in VA...rain so hard I thought it was going
to crack the windshield and quite the lightning display!

And yes, we hit the tractor trailer parades on 81 as well!

But all in all, an uneventful trip home!
