The Mother Road
Today, I left home with my 15-year-old son and 81-year-old mother on a 4500+ mile road trippin' adventure. At my last session, my therapist asked me if I was testing my coping skills by setting up this grand experiment. Honestly, though, this is exactly what I want to do right at this moment in my life because I might never have this chance again. Part of the trip will be on U.S. Route 66, The Mother Road, which suits us perfectly, a mother curating this adventure for her son and her own mother.Just this first day has found us booking some serious miles and aching from belly laughs, thanks to a stop at Uranus Fudge Factory in Indiana. That goofy shop built on sophomoric fun and puns hit the sweet spot for our little family. I hope the sweetness of this day portends well for the whole trip, and I also hope the Uranus jokes dry up overnight.
