Summer 2015 Roadtrip

The summer travel season is here.  Dave is traveling to two conferences and Amy has some vacation time and will be doing some professional development work.  Dave is headed to the Bridges conference in Baltimore which is the largest annual mathematical art conference in the world, and then to MathFest in Washington, DC which is an annual summer mathematics conference.

After a late start, we began our summer road trip last night.  We left Michigan and headed for Pennsylvania.  We had planned to visit the Rubik's cube exhibition at the Cleveland science museum and then the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but our delayed start allowed us only time to travel.  Leaving in the evening meant that we missed most of the heavy weekend traffic.  However, there was plenty of construction.  Just when I thought we escaped, we came upon the largest water main break I had every seen;  the four land road was reduced to two lanes as the the water had turned the outer lanes into a raging river for about a mile.  We got to the hotel around 1 am and spent a brief night near Pittsburgh.

Hats off to Starbuck's along the Ohio Turnpike for feeding Dave's art addiction by supplying about 75 cardboard coffee cup sleeves.  Stay tuned for pictures....
