I pull up to the house with a surge of panic running through my veins. Damn to-do list. Take the dogs out, empty the dryer, put the clean dishes away, make the bed, make the guest bed, feed the dogs, pack my bags, pack the cooler and nag the boy to get ready in a proficient manner. Using my new domesticated super powers I knock them out one-by-one and burst out the door in a frenzy. Jerry grabs our mega-can of change and we head to the nearest Coinstar to help fund the newest Johnny trip. After joyfully losing the bet of how much we have saved up, we hit the road with an extra $55 in our pockets. After a quick stop at the gas station to feed the Yaris, we hit the road about 6:30pm.
After a boring 3 hour drive on I-65 South we jump onto I-70 East towards Ohio. By now Mandy has sleepy eyes and is ready to find somewhere for the night. We get off in Greenfield, check in at the Dollar Inn and plop down on the bed. It's only 10:30(eastern time) but I am exhausted. After eating some sandwiches from the cooler and laughing at the always ridiculous Bill Maher, it's snooze time.
