Days 37 & 38 – HOME

There was nothing eventful as we drove to Toledo, OH, hence no blog report. On Saturday, we decide that we were close enough to home that we combined the last two days of the trip and just drove home from Toledo. We did make the stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, as planned. It was a bit expensive ($22 each) and I enjoyed it, but Jeanne was just so-so about it. Combining the last two days required 8 hours of driving and we arrived home at 8pm. It was the first driving that we did after dark but it is going to be good to sleep in our own bed tonight.

The trip turned out to be 8,700 miles of driving, which is 1,200 more that I expected but I only counted the point-to-point driving, not the driving in the national parks, around town, etc. The estimate of 150 hours of driving was reasonably accurate but I don’t have a good way to check that as our GPS stopped recording time after we hit the 100 hour point.

By the way, in case you were wondering, we would do it again and just might at some point in the future, but just not for a while.
