Coming home never felt so sweet!

Miami Lakes Chevrolet graciously held the PapiBlogger welcome home party for us.

The Chevrolet Taverse approaches the bedlam in store for us at Miami Lakes Chevrolet.

As we drove south and finally saw the state sign for Florida, Jonathan and I agreed that he would handle some outreach to local TV and print media outlets.   Jonathan called about 10 journalists and assignment desks, five of which answered their phones and one that even got into a long call with them.
