Our Circle Trip--New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland

Thursday, August 28th

By this point, I am beginning to sound like a broken record—but we got up early yet again for a long car ride home. Bob got on 219 South for a good amount of the trip—all the way through NY and part way through PA. It was a beautiful drive and I enjoyed it very much. It took us through lots of small towns and I took several pictures. (and I noted all the antique stores--perhaps another trip, Bob??)

The only negatives with the drive was the rain—it rained almost all the way—and since 219 was a small road—many times only one lane in each direction—it was slow going when a big truck got in front of us. Otherwise, I loved it. Even after he picked up a main highway in PA, the scenery remained pretty. Once we got into Maryland the scenery kind of dwindled. Not necessarily Maryland’s fault. Just happens to be near DC and several major roads come together at that point. Lots of traffic, hotels, stores, etc.

We arrived home around 5 or 5:30. Not too bad. Considering the slower roads and the rain and stopping for lunch.

The house and cats were fine. All in all, I’d say the trip went well. I know I had a wonderful time.
