Come On Down, Sweet Virginia

We're home again.  The cat is okay - thanks to Astrid.  We're pretty exhausted and I am way behind on pictures.  I have hardly even posted about adventures in Boston!  Anyhow, I've got steady internet, my computer up and running, beverages, and by tomorrow, a solid night's rest in a familiar bed.  There's going to be some blogging, some reading and some gardening to mark the nation's independence.  1,140 miles later (plus the driving that Emily E. did through Connecticut and Boston), I think we've earned it.  Happy 4th everyone - and I'll provide more closure on our trip over the next two days, along with more pictures.
