We ran into more road construction yesterday than we ever have before. In fact, I am convinced that half of the state of Oklahoma is down to one lane. We started at 4:00 p.m. from Dallas and lost two hours, so by 10:00 it became obvious we weren’t going to make it to Iowa.
Props to Pops for finding us a hotel in Lawrence, and we stopped at 1:15 a.m. to try to snag a few hours of sleep.
It really WAS a few, too, because between having just ridden in the car and having a contraband dog (we never asked if they allowed pets, we just brought Henry in anyway) sleep was not easy to come.
For some reason, Henry thought it would be a good idea to go into “protection mode”, and he growled and woofed about every hour and a half between 1:30 and 6:00.
So we’re not in Iowa yet….but we’re almost there. We’re leaving the hotel in 30 minutes so I should get something to eat and take a shower before Joey realizes I have been playing Internet instead of being awesome.
