After the cross-country and back drive, the game in Philly felt almost like an afterthought, but, of course, the game is the thing! Here's the summary:
On the field: NFL Week 2, 9/20/20 -- Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Rams dominated the hapless Eagles. Jared Goff threw 3 TD passes to Tyler Higbee.
Final score: Rams 37, Eagles 19.
Our final score . . . we crossed the country in 5 days to get to Philadelphia.
On the map: San Jose, CA to Philadelphia, PA. -- 2,904 miles.
We chose to leave Philly right after Greg's game because staying over would have meant dealing with traffic the next morning in Philly, New Jersey and New York. So, we ended up leaving around 5 p.m. We still hit some traffic and road work and didn't relish driving on narrow parkways in the dark. We were exhausted when we finally reached home at 12:30 a.m.
We had a lovely visit with Anna and Adam. I am so grateful for the good care they are providing for our home and dogs. Honestly, I think the pups will be disappointed when we come home for good. They're getting lots of love and attention while the kids juggle online college and work obligations.
It's hard to leave Vermont at this time of year, but the NFL road trip continues. Next stop: Cleveland.
