We made it!

Well, we made it safely back to Virginia. Sarah and Joe were off to continue their adventure, including a drive back to the Florida panhandle to get ready for a new school year.

What a trip! Posted by Picasa

It was just our luck that all the Mexican places in town (Bearritos and Moseys) were closed. Bummer. Posted by Picasa

Mountain Market, Haines

We had a nice lunch at the Mountain Market. The IGA has more selection, but the Mountain Market is the place to go for health foods and specialty items. Posted by Picasa
