Home again, home again! Yeah!! We were on the road for almost exactly 4 months and put 11,000 miles on the car. Great trip. Saw things we have never seen, and may never see again. Glad we did it, but damn, it is good to be home. If I never see another motel breakfast buffet, that may be too soon.
Last Monday (14th), we spent several hours at Churchill Downs. More interesting than I would have thought. They have a large, well done museum, nice gift shop (J needed a mint julep cup!), and a restaurant that serves very good lunches. J took the "behind the scenes" tour for 2 hours, and I went out and took my own unguided, unauthorized tour. Tuesday it rained all the way home. Didn't arrive until 7, which was later than we planned. Ran into 2 traffic jams around Dayton - and we were stuck in one of them for an hour.
Once home, we have begun the process of putting our lives back in order. While we were gone, we got a new master bath and closet, and fresh paint in the bedroom (after the wallpaper was removed). And, of course, 4 months of mail.
Next trip: Dayton 5/6 and 7 for a short ceremony at the 95th Bomb Group Memorial remembering the last B-17 shot down. We bought a brick last year in Orville's memory and we want to see it - in addition to getting together with some of the members of the Greatest Generation.
