Along the highways and byways, there are quagmires wherever you look. The filthy bathroom in Hampton, New Hampshire. The police speed trap in Chicopee, Mass. And heck, there's an entire stretch of over 130 miles that couldn't be less friendly to our Tess.

Our journey to upstate New York begins. 

Rest stops between Portland, ME and Skaneateles, NY

On this road trip, I'll definitely be playing Eagle Eye in the car. It's a highway travel game I invented. The cost: $0.00. Put down your phone and play too: https://www.portlandrootsmedia.com/eagleeye

With five minutes before go time, Tess makes a move. And all hell breaks loose. 

On the road with the lad. A special trip that I took this week.

Tess is ready to eat. I don't know what time it is, but that statement is true regardless of day or time.

Check out my blog post about Tess's diet:  "Here's what we feed Tess. Her diet seems to help with autism, intellectual disability, GI issues, and her speech disorder." 

Tess's hyperphagia makes an appearance at a birthday party. No zone or man-to-man defense can stop her.
