3241.6 miles. Connor drove about 2280 of those with me. The last 900 were the hardest. 100 gallons of gas. Chili made 29.7 mpg. 11 states. Five state capitols. Six hotels. One friend with a house. Two arches (one delicate, one not so much). One airport. One unexpected snowstorm. Uncountable fluid ounces of Diet Coke.

It was a heck of a trip and I'm glad we did it. Boundless thanks to Connor for coming with me. I couldn't have done it without him. And many thanks to my family for supporting and funding this excursion. Mom and Dad were my Queen Isabella and Kind Ferdinand.

It's great to be back with family. There's no place like home.
