On the Road take 1

Day 1 of vacation starts late and wet. Weld set the alarm for 5, but didn't hear it — and, for the first time this week, the dogs decided to sleep late.

Once on the road — at 6:51 — we found that the roof storage was unbearable (the wind rushing under it, making it sound as if we were on an airport runway.

Plus, it's been raining the entire ride.

We're about 100 miles and two hours into a 425-mile (or so), nine-plus-hour trip and I already need some ibruprofen.
