2,783 road miles, to be exact.
When you stop and think about it, how amazing we traveled that distant in about 12 hours.
Sure air travel is "tiring" and we complain about the aggravations, but when everything in the system works, it's a miracle. As it did yesterday-- and we're safely home.
OK, get in the car.
Settle your booty for the long haul.
