Here’s the thing about trying to act upscale when you really aren’t. The truth always comes out in the wash. For example:
If you want to move the coffee table in your room it probably shouldn’t do this:
Swaddled
We are no longer camping, but staying in a swank boutique hotel in Mendocino, CA. We crossed the Mendocino county line blasting the Willie Nelson & Leann Womack song “Mendocino County Line.” Fitting, huh?
Nearly each night when we were camping our little dog would hover near us shivering looking really wimpy. She’d refuse to go into the tent unless she could see us, which wasn’t always an option. Instead of playing nursemaid to her, we discovered a simple swaddle with a beach towel and strategically placing her in the car resulted in some loud snores.
Now that there isn’t a tent in sight or even a dirt floor, Sydney is happy as a little clam. She has been bouncing on the bed, wagging her tail trying to entice us to play a game with her. It’ going to be difficult to explain to her that this whole hotel thing is a short-lived deviation from our road trip plans.
Driving Can Be Boring
I have had limited driving time on our road trips since I tried to jump our car house in Australia. That means I have hours and hours logged as the navigator. 
This also means that I have many,many self-portraits of me in tiny mirrors.
They are usually pretty much the same. Until I get bored. I know it is time to put the camera away when…….
pictures like this start appearing.
