Attorney General Beau Biden Returns Home

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden returned home Thursday with his father, Vice President Joe Biden, and other family members after undergoing a medical procedure at a Houston cancer center.

A small motorcade of SUVs with dark tinted windows arrived at Joe Biden's house shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon after Air Force Two touched down at the New Castle County airport following a flight from Texas.

"On our way home! Can't wait to get back. Thank you, Houston," the younger Biden said earlier Thursday in a Twitter post that included a photo of him with his wife and parents.

Beau Biden, 44, was admitted earlier this week to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center after becoming weak and disoriented during a vacation in Indiana last week. His hospitalization came two weeks after emergency dispatchers received a call from the vice president's Delaware home, where Beau Biden is staying, regarding a report of a possible stroke.

Beau Biden suffered a minor stroke in 2010.
