OK, let’s put a bow on this latest trip to NYC. In order to do that, we would have to wake up early and drive about 13 hours to get back home. Yep, the long road trip awaited, and thus, the last night in NYC was low key. No late night drinking, domino playing, cigar smoking. Nope, it was an early dinner, early domino playing, and early bedtime. I needed at least 6 solid hours of sleep before going west…

I love road trips too. Most of my family vacations growing up were on the road. We had a ball. Usually these road trips revolved around an amusement park or baseball stadium. We would all cram in the station wagon, secure the luggage to the top of the car, and head out on the next adventure; it was kind of like the Griswold family… haha. Yeah, those were fun trips. We eventually took a couple plane rides, but for the most part, it was rubber to the road time.

13 hours is a long trip, not as long as 24 hours, but still pretty long. It would have been 24 hours had we driven to Vegas earlier this year; I had to veto that one. Now if we stretched our trip out over a couple weeks, fine. But to spend 48 hours on the road round trip, in a week’s timeframe, too much. The 3.5 hour plane ride sounded a whole lot better. But for this trip, we would be on the road. Thankfully, the trip back home from New York to Chicago is a pretty straight shot. Thankfully, my wife took the middle third of the driving duties.

We stopped for lunch at Dutch Pantry in Pennsylvania, a Target in Ohio to walk around, and gas again just before we left Ohio. The weather was fully cooperative this time. The only challenging part I guess, besides getting out of New York, was driving through the winding mountains of Pennsylvania. I forget how mountainous it is there; I didn’t forget how wide that state is… geez. But to have that portion at the beginning of the trip, it wasn’t too bad.

At the end of the day, we made it through all of our road journeys safe and sound. As we pulled into our garage at about 9pm on Tuesday night, I was just happy to be home. I was exhausted, but at the same time, knew that I had filled my bucket. I needed these trips; I needed the recharge. Even though at this very moment I felt drained, I knew mentally I was good.
