It was a very tiring event everyday, still it was much relaxing. Long drives, music n masti (fun), and company of loved ones …what else you need ;)

After all the fun and excitement, coming back to home was like a big awaited feeling.
I guess, am on the spree of exploring US…why not when they have so many places to go ;)
