After a “challenging and dynamic” week of driving, Lauren, the small petting zoo, and I finally made it Charlestown, MA.
Day seven was the most dynamic day of driving so far. We experienced snow, hail, driving rain, and fog so thick it looked like someone spilled chocolate milk on our windshield. Mmm…Chocolate milk. We drove from [...]

We finally bought a map today. This is a drastic improvement over the USA Today newspaper weather map that Lauren and I had been using as a travel guide. “See where the light blue turns to dark blue? I think that’s near Sandusky, OH.”

I realized today that I only know two lines from the song “On the Road Again”:
On the road again. I can’t wait to be on the road again …
Something something music with my friends …
And I can’t wait to be on the road again.
I also realize that you can break another person’s sanity by [...]

The day started when I had to walk about a mile to the closest place that sold tire chains. Having blown the first set of chains the day before, the rented minivan was stuck in the frozen pond of a parking lot, and we needed new chains to even get out of our parking space. [...]

Had I posted anything yesterday, here’s what I would’ve written:
1.26
Today, Lauren and I finally started our trek eastward. Having traded in our SUV for the more rugged and cool Chevy minivan, we packed up the last of her belongings (her cat Kytka, and birds, Linus, Louise, Peanut, and Oliver) and hit the open road.
For those [...]
