There's no place like home. There's no place like home! Ed and I arrived home safely about 11:30 pm Monday night. We made a detour on the way back to see Ed's aunt near Blackstone, VA; by the time we got home, we had driven over 2,000 miles on the trip. As soon as my brain wakes up a bit more, I will write a proper thank you to everyone. We are so glad that we went to Philadelphia.
