Q: Is there anything worse than having to pee while you’re driving on the highway?
A: Yes. Having to pee while driving, ending up waiting for a drawbridge, getting stuck in a traffic jam, waiting for another drawbridge, and then missing the entrance to the only convenience store you’ve seen in miles.
What a day.
It started with conveyor belt pancakes at the Super 8 (what happened to Supers 1 -7?) Anyone else had these conveyorcakes? Fascinating little thing. A metal box with a window to watch your pancakes cook, because there is no better entertainment at the Super 8.
Yesterday I stole some rocks from the parking lot at Robert Is Here and painted one to hide. It’s not waterproofed, so hopefully no one finds a soggy cupcake.
My two hour drive turned longer partly because I stopped at thrift stores, and partly because my sense of direction (or the GPS) sucks. Seven hours later, I arrived at my destination.
And promptly found out you need to pre-book tours.
So I took a few pictures anyway, and was told to pre-book and come back another time if I wanted to do the tour. It traces the history of candy, from cavemen discovering honey to the modern day. Gotta be honest, I was primarily interested because I hear they’ve got one of the original Wonka Golden Tickets and an EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPER! (Well, it’s lasted since 1971 so far).
Not sure if I’ll make it back on this trip, but it’s not far from the folks’ condo, so there’s always an opportunity next time I’m down.
Speaking of the folks…
Since I was a half hour away and really, incredibly frustrated by this point, I crashed their “AirBnB” for the night. On the road again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a better day!

Sounds like a road trip to me.
