Final Tally

Posted on July 12, 2012 by timcindywest

When you come home from vacation, you need time to recuperate from your time off.  A massage can help.  In this case we had great plans to blog our final tally one or two days after our return, but once again time and technology got in our way.  Or maybe it was those thunderstorms that caused the last 30 minutes from Hunstville to drag into 90…

So this is what two weeks worth of mail looks like!

Or it could have been the pile of mail waiting for our arrival…

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome Home Elizabeth!

 

Or perhaps the excitement of bringing our daughter home from the airport after her first unaccompanied flight that was 3.5 hours delayed took our minds off of our own recent travels.

 

 

 

 

Welcome to America Cloe! Thanks for the French specialities…yum!

 

Or it could be the anticipation of hosting a French student two days later.

 

Excuses excuses…

 

 

 

 

All kidding aside, here’s the final tally from our Harley Davidson summer tour. Before we share it, you need to know we thought our trip was going to be about 3500 miles.  We met and surpassed that goal!
