The Murray Odyssey - Part 1

Since I am still in the 'sitting around pondering working on a post that has anything to do with New Year's' stage, I decided I would at least do a little recap of the first part of our road trip. You know, so it doesn't just go into the massive abyss that is my iPhoto collection without getting anything recorded...

It's been a great trip so far and while I'm sure we will be happy to make it back home whenever that happens, we are about as motivated to leave as dogs are to eat fabric ribbons.

OH WAIT.

That's apparently a lot, since a certain dog eating a certain collection of ribbons is what kept us from the road yesterday. But more on that later.
