because kristin has been such a busy little bee lately, and because mariel’s sister was leaving early this morning to go back to school, we decided it might actually be in our best interest to just head back to the city last night! and that we did. we made it back by 230, actually. it gave mariel a chance to see sophie, and all of us a chance to avoid annoying traffic. and there were actually a surprising amount of cars on the road! not great drivers, yes, but enough to keep the drive less sketchy than it could have been. and, by the way, if you’re in the market for a road trip between nyc and dc, definitely do it at night, because I95 is basically all construction. no joke.
oh, and sorry to disappoint, but there aren’t any pictures from that leg of the trip. bummer, i know. but it was nighttime! and not very interesting! seeing tolls again was pretty exciting, though. and more than one house at a time on the side of the road… but aside from that, it was all red bull, all the time.and now we’re home!
it’s been fun, kids. it really has. we all appreciated your awesome comments throughout the trip, and i really hope that you guys checked out the flickr pictures i so diligently posted, and enjoyed looking at them as thoroughly as we enjoyed taking them!
and remember, keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.

Alyson, Alyson…WOW! I didn’t read every blog entry but enough to know that the trip sounded AWESOME! I’m jealous and very happy and excited for you! FUN! FUN! FUN! The pictures of the Grand Canyon were great! So sorry it’s time to return to reality but what great memories. Glad you’re “home” safely and look forward to seeing and hugging you!!! XOXO
