Most of these times are estimates based on what Maps on my phone tells me, (because I can't quite remember the exact addresses of the places we stayed in certain areas) but as far as mileage, I'm pretty certain it's really close to accurate. After these ten days I was curious to see just how much ground I'd covered.

To put the distance somewhat into perspective, it would be like driving to Michigan from Virginia 3.378 times. (Virginia to Michigan, back down to Virginia, back up to Michigan, and almost halfway back to Virginia). What a trip that would be.

And yay math.

* - I didn't include little 10 mile trips (like from one house to another or to the beach and back) because it would only be little chunks. Granted, it would add to the overall total probably in a larger amount than I'm thinking, but I decided not to record all that. So, the total total is probably more than 2,196 miles. Oh well.
