We have arrived at stop number 7 on our Goodbye Tour: Rhode Island. We left Washington after a wild thunderstorm and incredible double rainbow.

Unfortunately, this photo doesn't do it justice.

Anyway, we drove down to Virginia Beach for a couple days. We swam in the Atlantic, hiked in First Landing State Park and biked around the Virginia Beach boardwalk.

There were some wild thunderstorms there too, including what may have been a tornado. Now that we're back in New England the weather has turned dry and bit cool. We're planning a day on the water thanks to our friends Cathy and Mitch.

We're two weeks into our trip and it has really sunk in that we have no home to go home to. While it may be true that home is where your heart is or where you hang your hat, it's also where you have a place for all your stuff. A table to toss the mail. A place where you get mail! A bathroom where you leave your things on the counter. I'm getting pretty good at being organized with finding things in my suitcase, but a suitcase just isn't home.

We got an email from the secretary at our new school asking how much luggage we're bringing so she knows what size taxi to send to the airport to pick us up. In two and a half weeks that will be home. At least the place where we hang our hats. I wonder if it will be where my heart is?
