We MADE It!!!

Aunt B, H.D., and I made it to NY. We drove through a smidge of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

What a drive. 24 hours straight. We should have, could have been here earlier but...life happens. We stopped for breakfast in Ohio and the people took forever and there was a plethora of traffic in PA due to road construction. We had to wait at least an hour to get on to the George Washington Bridge, then the GPS and I did not jive. She told me to stay to the right and I had two stay to the right, right options. Needless to say we missed the exit for the Throgs Neck Bridge and I had to do a U turn into the Bronx and a detour through an unnamed park led us to a porta-potty where H.D. found relief.

We asked for directions because I did not trust what the GPS was saying. I was glad I remembered (from 10 years ago) the basic directions. A little help from a local and we were back on our feet. Over the Throgs Neck and onto Long Island.

Tomorrow we are heading into "the City." I hope to have some pictures up for Daddy who had to stay home to work.

We miss you and wish you were here.

Peace and love
