What a trip! 16 days, 14 states and 4043 miles. And we all made it back alive! 

It may be the euphoria of being home but I have actually loved blogging this adventure. To all those who have commented - you have added a great element of joy to this exercise and I thank you. You made the bad days bearable and the great days even better.
