I’m sitting in the waiting area in Terminal 3 of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport waiting for my brother’s flight to arrive. My flight here from Tampa was uneventful, except we landed 30 minutes early and then sat on the plane for those 30 minutes waiting for a gate to open up. Note: my posts …
And so it ends … We got up early and hit the road, driving through the morning fog in the northern Georgia hills.

This morning we packed up the car and then checked out of our hotel to start our last day in Ohio. Then it was over to St. Victor’s in Richfield for my niece’s baptism. Immediately after mass, we bid friends and family farewell and hit the long road home. About 90 minutes down I-71, we …
Happy Independence Day! The rain moved out as forecast and today was beautiful … low 80s and sunny. In the early afternoon we gathered at my sister’s and brother-in-law’s place for a family photo.

More driving today, as we crossed 5 more states/districts: Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Delaware, and Pennsylvania. We left Wilson, NC around 9ish and found our first Starbucks since leaving Tampa about 50 miles north on I-95 … finally! 😉 Continuing north into Virginia, we decided take the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry across to Williamsburg.
