Crashbox

26 hours straight behind the wheel does a number to a body. I did actually sleep for about 30 minutes when our brakes overheated coming down out of the mountains that border Death Valley, but that was it. It is the first time I have made it that long without a total meltdown, and it makes me proud---but I can certainly say I don't want to do it again for a very long time---which will be easy, because gas prices completely broke us. Oh well. Roughly 3500 miles, two families and piles of close friends later, we are home, pooped, and looking forward to lying low. Goodnight all.
