Destination Reached!

At 8:10 tonight (EST) we arrived at our destination in Clarks Summit, PA after leaving GmaC at 12:12pm. We saw more rainfall today than all the days of our trip combined. Matter of fact, we saw more rain today than we saw all last year in CA! They closed the I-80 and sent us on a detour that set us back about an hour. But we made it, and are we ever grateful - to the Lord first of all and to all of you who are praying for us as well. 3,564.6 miles from our house in Covina to my parents house in Clarks Summit. Every mile an expression of God's grace as we're all aware of the many things that could have gone wrong (plus the things we're not aware of :-) We averaged 20.5 mpg - not bad for pulling a trailer and having a luggage carrier on the roof.

On the trip today, Connor solved the "Alexander's Star" that Aunt Jean loaned to him in Wheaton. That's right Aunt Jean, it's done already! That little stinker genius boy :-)

Here's a little picture collage of the day's progress. The "Huntington Beach" sign was from yesterday at Lake Erie. I had an extra slot in the collage so....

Also, sorry for the half PA sign pic. I thought about turning around and getting a better one (like we have for a few other state signs :-) but.......

Moving forward by grace and prayer (including yours - thank you) .
