First Day on The Road

First day on the road:

0:30 amount of time it took for us to disobey Judy, the GPS.
04:32 amount of time it took for us to run our first red light
40:00 amount of time it took for us to stop for food

And so began another Blaney family road trip. Highlights thus far include going thru Chicago which Dad took as an opportunity to discuss the downfall of American politics, not knowing when we actually crossed into Indiana.

If this is the first time you are joining us for a Blaney family road trip, let me tell you something.
We are history fanatics. Not in a "how many states can you name" way, but a "name all the states, in alphabetical order way. Now do the capitals. Now the presidents. Now who was your favorite president and why"-kind of way.

In an earlier blog, dad asked our fellow Catholics to pray to your favorite intercessory saint. He should have specifically mentioned not to pray to St. Jude. At this point we are not yet a hopeless cause.

So we end our first night in Youngstown, Ohio. 600 miles down and 600 more to go.
