I'm Back

Yep. I'm back in Washington, DC. Home.

I got a bit complacent with the blog over the last week of the trip and I apologize for that. The long trips took a toll on my energy and I was trying to see as much as I could before I had to get back to the "rat race".

The final stop of the trip came down in Cullowhee, NC to visit AI once more. There, he cooked me several meals and did my laundry. We also watched many football games and movies such as 3:10 to Yuma and Kung Fu Panda. That's right, Kung Fu Panda.

Thank you to the loyal readers.

Also want to thank all those who offered up interesting ideas on things to do along the way. I tried to do as much as possible in the short amount of time that I allowed myself. Believe it or not 6 weeks isn't very long to see our whole country. The next time I go out I'll do it with a co-pilot and I'm sure there will be other things to see. I put over 11,400 miles on my Dad's brand new Honda Odyssey. So I'd say he deserves some thanks as well.

I don't know what will happen to this blog now. I haven't given it much thought as to whether I will try and post on it in the future, but it's been fun and I hope it's inspired others to go out and see the country.

We have enjoyed keeping up with you via your blog and are sad it has come to an end. What are we to do without daily updates from "daves detour"? Glad you made it home safely and can't wait to see you for Christmas!

Now the Odyssey will sit in the driveway all winter and recuperate! Glad you had a great trip, happy that you're back and looking forward to new adventures.
