We left Durham at 5:00 P.M. last night and headed north for the holidays. We had pretty good success last year doing a night ride home so we decided to try it again. It was a pretty full day even before we hit the road. We went to the gym early to get one last good workout before sitting in the car for 11 hours. Then I did a couple of loads of laundry(I hate coming home to household chores). Took the dogs for an hour walk over at Eno, where the trails are no all frozen, to try and tire them out for the trip. Then I tried to nap, but couldn't so packed the car instead. The next thing you know, it's time to go.
The dogs were great. Every now and then Hattie would stick her nose between the front seats just to make sure we were still there. Finn slept most of the way. We stopped four times for short breaks to feed and water them(and ourselves). Reached D.C. around 10, and it was a breeze to get through. No snow, but it was blustery. Reached home at 3:30 A.M. and found 3 inches of snow. Deciding to shovel (oh how I hate that word) in the morning fell into bed and slept instantly.
