Day1

Breakfast, Bob Evans, and the Battle of the Doors

Dan, Janet’s brother, treated us to breakfast this morning at Bob Evans. Classic start to the day. As we were leaving, Janet and I noticed an elderly man with a walker trying to get out through the double doors.

Naturally, we jumped in to help.

Janet went for the first set of doors on the right. I headed for the second set on the left. The poor man just stood there, looking completely bewildered—like he’d been dropped into some kind of low-stakes escape room with two enthusiastic but uncoordinated guides.

Eventually, I switched doors so he could make his way out without needing a map and a team of sherpas.

Apparently, Janet and I are right-brain/left-brain opposites. This could make for an unforgettable road trip… or it means we’re in serious trouble.

We left for the adventure at 9:23 Thursday, June 5, 2025

Slug Bug Rebels At the Ranch

Slug Bug Rebels at the Ranch We made a rebellious little detour at the  Slug Bug Ranch —a place where you're  actually encouraged  to spray paint on the cars without getting in trouble. Naturally, we took full advantage of the opportunity to unleash our inner outlaws and tagged a couple of slug bugs with our roaming relics flair. Shockingly, Janet didn’t even hit me for not calling “slug bug” first—clearly, we were off our game. Don’t worry, we made up for it later.  Slug bug! While we were mid-spray, we ran into the sweetest little family with an even sweeter little girl. And yes, you guessed it—we had to  corrupt  her. In the best way possible, of course. We handed her a can of spray paint and officially inducted her into the  tiny rebel hall of fame . It was only right! We left our roaming relics mark behind and walked away with paint on our fingers and grins on our faces. Being rebels is fun… even if we never really were. (But now we can say we wer...
