It wasn't a bad day, really - just one of those days when the little annoyances combine to mess up the whole flow of things.
First, a group of Vietnam vets on motorcycles decided they wanted to stage a protest by blocking the entrance to a truck weigh station - one hour delay. Next, Lori missed a turn off and had to head down to the next highway - another extra hour. Road construction added even more delays. Before you know it, Lori was still driving when she should have been stopped for the night. Oh well...

There was one highlight in the day, though; a stop at Grandpa's
Cheesebarn in
Ashland, Ohio. (That's Grandma and Grandpa Baum, owners of the
Cheesebarn, on the left.) Lori stocked up on some Lebanon bologna, honey-glazed jerky, a loaf of bread, and some bacon cheddar spread. (She decided against going into the ice cream/fudge shop!) That bacon cheddar spread was mighty good melted on the baked potato she cooked in her lunch box stove for dinner. You've got to take your silver linings wherever you can find them.
