| | Charlie and I are at the halfway point of our road trip (i.e., staying the night at the most ghetto Days Inn I've ever seen) and overall it's been a really great day. We left our apartment right on time, so the trip has been leisurely with only an occasional "Charlie's getting restless and throwing a fit" moment. We made two stops during today's trek--first for gas and a short playtime at McDonald's, then later for lunch at a roadside Steak n' Shake. We've both eaten our share of junk food, which is key for a successful road trip.
Other than his few short-lived spastic outbursts in the car, Charlie has been awesome. He's been happy and patient and flexible, which is, in all seriousness, an answer to my prayers. Whether checking in at the hotel, killing time in our room, swimming in the pool, dining at Denny's, or getting ready for bed in an unfamiliar place, Charlie has just been going with the flow. And I'm so thankful.
Tonight I'm trying to keep really quiet. So I'll probably start reading soon, then fall asleep shortly thereafter. Tomorrow we hit the road again for a drive that, according to Google Maps, is a good 42 miles shorter than today's journey. Piece of cake!
