Leaving Nothing But a Vapor Trail


Finally.... back to Maine. Back to home. And five minutes earlier than our GPS anticipated.

Today was a long day. We dropped Gordo off at his aunt's house in Bowie, MD and then Brian and I made like a tree and got out of there (a special thanks to Aunt Cathy for the super yummy warm brownies).

We essentially left nothing but a vapor trail and a long line of angered toll both workers up the east coast. Traveling from the DC area all the way back to Maine, we only used paper currency twice. Once, when they refused to accept the roll of dimes, so we had to use a twenty. The second when I made a last second exit to hit the Garden State Parkway (cutting across 6 lanes of traffic at 80 mph in the process). We ended up cutting off an entire line of cars so had to scramble for cash. All in all we had $1.06 left in change.

At any rate, we are home. We will continue posting over the next couple of days as we get more pictures sent up and as the reality of the last five days starts to sink in and we can put it into words.

Cheers
