Subaru Forester Milestone and a Cinnabon

We haven't driven long distances at night for quite some time. But since we wanted to avoid the DC Pope traffic and congestion, we decided to return home from Florida a day early and do all the driving at once. Somewhere in Virginia, we stopped for a final tank full of fuel, and noticed that we were about to reach the 100,000 mile milestone on our 2004 Subaru Forester. To celebrate, we picked up a Cinnabon - which we haven't had for many, many years - and gobbled some of it down. Somehow it didn't taste right and required a microwave zap, which we didn't have. Traveling towards Richmond the mileage number changed. Such drama! We made it back to DC by 2:30 AM and found a parking space pretty close to home - a great time to arrive in town. We have never seen the freeway so wide open with so few cars. In the end we probably saved a couple of hours just in avoiding traffic alone. It's nice to know we could do it if we had to, but it's taken us a couple days to get back on schedule. I think I prefer the take your time approach - even if it means sitting in traffic.
