Location: Back in Buffalo. It was an all day affair getting here from Ohio though. Between late starts, terrible weather, bad conditions, and detour to see the town that the husband grew up in, we’ve been in the car all day.

Puppy Cuteness:  100%. 

My grandparents’ dog is named Cocoa because she looks like a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows on her feet!

Health: 98% better, but still sick. I’m a bit congested and still have my cough, and I’m still not quite feeling like myself.

Growth: the adorable Easter egg planters sprouted another couple of inches overnight!

Food Rations: Poor.

Things started off well. We had breakfast with my grandparents before we hit the road.

My grandma made quesadillas with scrambled eggs, salsa, and turkey sausage.

We also had leftover fruit salad.

Then, bodies and car fueled, it was time to start our journey.

Our first detour was to Trader Joes. We picked up a few fun items, including this yogurt honey peanut Balance Bar I snacked on while on the road.

Flavor favorite, second only to cookie dough.

My stomach never felt up to a road food lunch, but I did steal a few bites of this Choco Taco.

Plus I bought a coffee (half regular half sweet English toffee cappuccino).

Several hours later I was starving, and so glad to find the perfectly crisp apple my grandma gave me.

Crunch!

The plan at that point was clearing to get dinner, but somehow it kept getting later and later and no food was available. When we rolled into Buffalo after midnight we knew it was better just to skip it. Speaking of which, I should get in bed!!!

How late does it have to be for you to decide just to skip dinner?
