See you After the Election

My mother, who is 85, has never been on a cruise.  Dad wasn't really into that kind of vacation.  We've been on just one cruise, and it was okay.  We took the kids.  My favorite part was walking circles on the outer deck.  Fresh air and water for as far as you could see.  My least favorite part was the ports.  There just isn't enough time spent ashore to get a sense of place. So when she asked us to go on a week cruise over election day, we said sure.  She didn't care where--just so long as it wasn't here.  We didn't sign up for the Internet package, so it'll be a good chance for us all to unplug for a week that promises to be otherwise stressful.  Hope things work out while we're gone.

Edmond, Oklahoma

 We got up early this morning; said our goodbyes, and were on the road by 7 a.m.  


We encountered heavy fog in Iowa, along with occasional black ice and temperatures in the mid-teens.  We had decent weather for driving in Missouri, but then had rain changing to snow back and forth through Kansas and Oklahoma. We pulled into a cheap dog-friendly motel in Edmond, Oklahoma, putting in a ten hour, 655 mile day. 



After unloading our gear, we went out for brisket and a local IPA.

Callie: "TEN hours! Are we there yet!?"

Callie has been really patient--as patient as a blue heeler/border collie mix can be. We're trying out a new collar/seat belt for her, as several of the jurisdictions that we will be traveling through require dogs to be belted or crated.
