Day 299: August 27, 2022 Saturday – 8/27 Family Road Trip It’s another weekend. It only means one thing, I’m off on another road trip with my family. For this adventure, we plan to go on another overnight camping to Sorachi Sub-prefecture. One of the beautiful roads in Uryu We left our home in Rumoi City at around 8AM. For this trip, we used the Rumoi Interchange for the first time. This also meant that we finally got to drive over the 50-speed limit for the first time. My wife seemed to have loved and hated it at the same time. She enjoyed driving faster but also hated the feeling that she was an inconvenience to other drivers because she still drives following the speed limit while others drive a little over that and tend to catch up to us. The funny thing was we had to pull over a few times so that they could overtake us.
