The Least Exciting Part of a Road Trip

Don’t get me wrong–I feel very fortunate to be able to take a trip of this length. Hell–we’ve been gone for five days already and the trip has only just begun. But there is one thing about longer vacations that is not fun–laundry.

I’ve had my own washer and dryer since late 2003. That means it’s been a long time since I’ve been to a laundromat–and believe me, being in a laundromat in Bar Harbor isn’t any more romantic, magical, or exotic than being in a laundromat in Hoboken (not that I’ve ever been to a laundromat in Hoboken, or to Hoboken at all–it just seems like the least touristy place I can imagine!)

At least I have a smart phone, a blog, and two thumbs to pass the time!
