Road Trip....Day 1

I was up at 6am on Monday morning.  I worked and came home ready to leave for Buffalo.  We were in the car-packed and ready at 3:50pm.  At 3:53pm, we turned around and came back after Josh discovered he left his sunglasses.  3:58pm...road trip take 2.  47 minutes into said trip, we have vomit...oh, yes of the canine version.  We pulled over on Route 369 in Canton to clean up Charley's present.  Back in the car....take 3?  One more residual vomit about 15 minutes later (all over Keelin's pillow) -clean up #2 and fill up for gas and we are on our way once again.  We eat dinner in the car at 5:30 pm....we made sub sandwiches.  We stop around 8pm to walk Charley and have a potty break.  Back in the van to watch movies and settle in for the night. We made it until 12:30 am.  I had been driving 8 and a half hours.  We pulled over at a rest stop in Columbus, Ohio- to "rest."  Max and Charley slept.  The rest of us....not so much.  Back on the road at 2:30 am.  Next major point of interest....Cleveland.  We stop at a 24 hour McDonalds at 5am and get the worst coffee ever.  It is hot, black, and not so easy on the stomach but it works it's caffeine magic we we continue on.  The kids sleep until about 5:30.  Charley sleeps on.  We arrive in Buffalo at 7:30 am.  Of course we get on 90 during morning commute so it takes us an hour to go 10 miles.  I am beyond exhaustion.  We arrive at Josh's dad's just before 9am. I have been awake for 27 hours.  I count backwards from 100 two times before I fall asleep....until 12:39pm.  Here is the one shot I managed from the trip....
