Rest Stop and Go

We’d been planning a whirlwind family road trip for some time now. Originally, we were to depart on this day for a mind-numbingly long drive out to Boston. Beni foresaw the bumps we’d likely encounter on and along the road – exhaustion, a restless preschooler, and an exhausted and restless preschooler – and therefore suggested that we break up the drive.

Aiming for Ithaca, New York, a two-thirds point of our journey and home of Cornell University and Moosewood, a famous mostly-vegetarian restaurant, we left at 10 p.m. the night before. Olivia drifted off to dreamland before we got to the highway and stayed sound asleep until the sun started its ascent up the day’s sky. True to form, our daughter demanded some food upon awakening, demands that we were able to meet à la powdered sugar goodness at a NY rest stop.
