Heading Home ...

We're heading home today.  Woke up and the rain was coming down, great driving weather as there won't be a bright glare heading south.  Had a great time up here in Hancock, Mass.  Here are a few photos that I thought I'd share with you all on the experience. They say a picture paints a thousand words, here are a few thousand...

the Ladies Posing...

Just a quick note, I finally was able to finish this when I got home this evening.  The weather was pretty vicious on the way from Mass to New York City where we dropped Beth off to visit friends overnight.  Some pretty significant rain storms along the way.  After we dropped Beth off and stopped at a rest stop Jacki took over driving and wouldn't you know it, the sun came out and she drove in pretty nice weather, lots of traffic on the NJ turnpike but heading into a weekend that wasn't too much of a surprise.  It was great getting away, more great returning to our home...
