April 1, 2025
A 16.5 hour road trip back home from Florida went as planned, with little traffic and an arrival time of 5:30 am, all without incident. I make this drive to limit the amount of movement Nancy has to make in and out of the car if we were to stop and stay at a motel along the way. It is a long day (night), but once we are home, we can relax and unwind.

The house is in good shape, other than lots of weeds and the lawn needing a trim (done later in the day on April 1). Cleaning out the van went well, despite being filled to the top. The seedling I brought back home survived and nothing fell out of the van during our trip.

Maggie was very good, settling in once we got going. We made a few stops along the way for gas and the bathroom, but that is expected.

It was just good to get back home and sleep in our own beds again.

My Walking
I didn’t even miss a day of walking, as I did a mile before leaving Florida and then managed to get in another mile once I got home. It was nice to walk in the woods with temperatures similar to Florida (an early warm front coming through), but with much lower humidity and cooler evenings.
