After our whale watching excursion, it was time to head towards Maryland on Sunday. We drove through Rhode Island (another new state-yeah!), Connecticut and then New York. Our plan was to bypass New York City. Andy was joking that we should drive through Times Square with a 40 ft. long motorhome towing a car. I told him if he was going to do that, that I would just go back to the bedroom and hide while he drove all by himself.
Well, we came close. We had our Google maps set to bypass NYC on I-287. However, when we got there, it told us to take a turn so we did. That left us on I-95. (Damn GPS!) We ended up going through the South Bronx and over the George Washington Bridge to cross the Hudson River. We had some great views going through the city. Eventually we made our way to NJ and then PA before getting to our destination in MD. I must admit to holding my breath the entire time through New York. We joked about needing a defibrillator on board.
We're here to spend some time with our kids and grandkids before we head to the Freightliner Factory in South Carolina in September. We'll be able to take in some of the kids football games, and be here for their first day of school.
Another small world story-we headed to downtown Middletown so we could get some T-shirts to show our school spirit for the boys. This shop is right across the street from Zion Lutheran Church, where Pastor Kathy Hoffman is senior pastor. (She is a friend from when I lived in Fargo, ND.) I had planned on going to church on Sunday and surprising her. When we got out of the car there she was. She and her husband Mark were walking on the street and had stopped because they noticed our MN license plates. So we had an early reunion!! We plan on getting together for lunch while we are here.
