We did get the car unloaded and I did start the first load of wash. But then I had to do a main post because I have been having withdrawls. :)

It will take me a few days to get all 500 pictures organized and pick the favorites and tell the stories.

I will just have to do it in chunks.

As much fun as we had, it does truly feel good to be home.
