Traveling and Family

30 August and 31 August

Yesterday we traveled from Kennebunkport ME to New Brunswick NJ.  The road time was just under 6 hours, and we traversed through 6 states:  ME, NH, MA, CT, NY and NJ.  I-95 is still a pain to travel on, but with EZ Pass the tolls were unknown and we'll see them on our EZ account.  Beats the heck out of chucking quarters, making sure you have change, or annoying everybody behind you while you wait for change.  Last night we had a good dinner with my cousins, Adriana and Eduardo.  Sorry Mom, we got so engrossed visiting with each other that we forgot to take pictures.  I got an update on the Colombian side of the family, which I'll report via sepcor.

I had asked at the Herrara's concierge desk where safe above ground parking was, and we were provided with a loading dock pass that allowed us to park in security camera view.  We slept on the street last night, as Eduardo has a cat Ney and Adriana has a cat too (but I don't remember his name.)  With a double dose of allergy meds, I surprised Roger how little cat suffering I displayed with only the occasional sneezes.

This morning Adriana fixed breakfast, including arepas and we had our photo session for Mom.



We're now at Cherry Hill Campground, Washington DC's only nearby campground.  Tomorrow we're meeting Reid for lunch and then headed to Timothy's afterward.  The absolute best thing about traveling is seeing family.
