We shall now sleep. And then unpack. And then probably do a little more of both. Then maybe I’ll write a bit later when my brain decides to ooze back inside my skull.
I see that smile.

Josh, you are insane. Driving through the night . . . ack. I’ve been on all-night trips from eastern NC to Kansas City–/not/ fun.
Happy collapsing. You deserve it.
(BTW, subtracting 6 1/2 hours for sleep, the trip time comes out to about 46 1/2 hours. Driving time would be different since there’s stops for gas and snacks and Cracker Barrel, but it’s somewhere in that ballpark. Of course, I could be grossly off. Math’s not my strong suit. :o) Just today I screwed up converting Central Standard Time to Eastern . . . embarassing.)
Actually, it’s closer to 34.5 hours, not including the Cracker Barrel stop, our jaunt to Target to save the wedding cake, and the many gas stations where we had to refuel. I’d say… closer to 32, wouldn’t you?
32 hours of driving. I still say yeesh.
