Starting mileage: 19234, Distance travelled: 881 (new family record!)
On the road again by 8am, we were considering making the final push home from Hammond, Indiana all in one go. It would be a long day, but everyone was excited by the prospect of a full weekend at home. The early mornings were starting to take their toll.
We crossed Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Our diets suffered as we resorted to road food.
We were pretty lucky with traffic and weather for the first half of the drive, but things went south in eastern Ohio. We drove the second half of the trip in occasionally torrential rain, which slowed us down a bit. The last hour was pretty grueling, with tense driving through dark, stormy construction zones with narrow lanes and erratic drivers. Finally we returned to Massachusetts and, at 11pm, we drove into our driveway, very glad to be home as you can tell by these faces.

Congratulations to all! I’m so glad that you made it home safely! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! As I think I said before, I will miss your daily posts!
Now do you have to drive to Maine to pick up Cora and Toby? Yay, a road trip!
With much love and great admiration,
Dana

Dana, we so appreciated reading your comments throughout our trip. It felt like you were right there with us along the way. You motivated us to keep up with our daily posts so we will have this as a journal of our trip. I’m headed to Newburyport tomorrow morning to meet my sister and collect the dogs. We miss them dearly.
Much love right back to you,
Susan, David, Brady, and Laura
