I’m writing this post at 6:06AM this morning after feeling the need to update our avid readers who have followed us along on our wild journey. After driving to the small town of Madison, outside Cleveland, we pulled into a Red Roof Inn at 12:30AM to try and get a room for the night. Right before we pulled in, I paused for a moment at the wheel and stared at the packed parking lot and noticed two women standing outside the side entrance to the inn. All of a sudden, a plump, African American woman came bounding out the door, wearing nothing, but a blanket wrapped around her neck as a cape. She was completeley naked, boobs flailing! Then, all of a sudden, she fell flat on her face. What the heck just happened? She was either drunk or on drugs or just got caught fornicating with someone else’s husband, perhaps! Either way, this was too much drama for my liking at midnight, when all we wanted was a peaceful night’s rest. I drove back onto I90 and headed north to Ashtabula, Ohio where we pulled off to try our luck at a Sleep Inn. Keep in mind, I had pulled into one other motel parking lot and noticed how packed it was. This lot was no different. They were completely packed. There was only one room left and they wanted to charge us more than we wanted to pay for only 6 hours of sleep. Again, there was some big soccer tournament in the area so every hotel was booked! I decided to drive across the street into a Flying J gas station. I noticed many truckers, RVs, and cars all parked and sleeping. Jon was extremely agitated by this point. We decided to follow suit and park our car to sleep for a few hours. No hotel for us this time around….but it wouldn’t be a real road trip without one night slept on the side of the road! Only 7.5 more hours until we reach home.
