TRIP #5, 2014--Travel Complete

Travel Complete: That Was That
When we loaded the car this morning around 9:00 a.m., the predicted rain was only a drizzle in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.  It didn't take many miles though before it poured.  Then it never let up.
Andy had planned to stop in Providence.  "This is our 47th state to re-visit," he said, as we crossed the state line, but he never stopped.  Neither did the rain.
We didn't do Rhode Island justice, but traffic was backed up for miles the other direction going into New London, Connecticut.  I had suggested a visit to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun.
"Why?" asked Andy.  "This weather is miserable, and we don't gamble."

Safely tucked in our garage, "Little Red" Saturn continues
to serve us well after nearly 20 years.

That was enough of a message.  Our trip was over, and we were headed home-- no detours, no deviations--3,162 miles in 28 days.  But after a month of beautiful weather on the road, I had no complaints and no reason to press for additional driving.

Back in Connecticut, the sun breaks
through as the day ends, showing a
kaleidoscope of color in our
back yard.

Connecticut needed the rain and that was that.
