Day 23: 6/24/24
From: Chatham, Ontario, Canada
To: Reading, PA
Distance: 514 miles

This post isn’t worth much. Our final day is a long drive, and we’re on the road by 7:15 a.m. Border crossing at Buffalo, NY this time and the border guard is unimpressed with us, which is, of course, always a good thing. We smuggled in a couple of giant Kinder eggs. Shhhh.

Late lunch at a Wendy’s somewhere in north-central Pennsylvania. Younger Child laments we still have 4 hours to drive…until I inform them we’re only 2 1/2 hours from home. The smile that appears on their face stretches from war to ear and they excitedly inform their friends via text that they’re almost home.

I wish I could be so excited, but I have other plans tonight. We pull in right at the time I’m due for a board meeting, and to avoid rushing back out again, I call in. Vacation is officially over.

But the memories will last forever.
