Travel Plazas, Rest Areas and the Open Road
Day One: After two fun nights of fellowship & good food with our friends The Shlenz family in Vienna, Va and saying good-bye to our church family at Calvary Chapel D.C. Metro on Sunday, dropping off boxes with the Foremans to ship to us in Eureka and one of our cars to the Boudreaux familiy to keep till we can ship it to us, we hit the road for Brewster, Ny. We left Alexandria, Va around 4:30 pm and drove through VA, D.C., MD, DE, NJ and on into NY to arrive about 11:30pm at my Father's home. Sleep, sleep, sleep!

Day two: A rather large, furry, hungry cat named Shadow broke the morning silence with her exclamation, "Give me food!". The boys played with all the toys at Pop-Pop & Tina's and had a fun time trying to get Shadow to be their friend. We all enjoyed a great breakfast and spending time with Pop-Pop and Grandma Tina. Tina made amazing breaded chicken strips and packed a fabulous picnic and we headed off to a turn of the century working farm that the local parks & recreation upkept. We had a fun time seeing some farm animals, some exhibits about farming and farm life in the 19th century. Under the shade of an large, old tree on a rickety picnic table we shared a delicious lunch. Then we returned to the condo, packed up our belongings, said a sad good-bye and off we went.
We traveled a weary way through the last bit of NY and through a great deal of PA. We pulled into the parking lot of a Quality Inn somewhere after 11:00 pm.

Day three: We are just now trying to wake up August and get them into a bath in time to make it to the free continental breakfast. Then we will cruise the day away off to Cleveland and the destination of Chicago! Till tomorrow...
