THE most challenging driving situation we’ve had so far was yesterday, driving from Northampton through Hartford, through NYC, through Baltimore and through Washington DC! Yikes! Jolynn did a great job with the detours, the construction, the skinny little narrow lanes, the serious traffic jams, the potholes and the extremely fast-moving vehicles around us on I-95 South. Whew! We made it through the big East Coast cities and found Ken, waiting patiently, at a metro station east of DC. Jolynn pulled into the metro station and we almost got a whopping ticket because we were in a bus lane but she backed us out of the situation. Navigating that metro station parking lot was almost as bad as traveling down I-95 but it all worked out well. We then drove south for an hour toward our campsite, stopping only to get groceries. St. Mary’s campground borders on a lake and a marina and it’s a windy, dark road at night. Setting up camp, we noticed that the air was warm and almost a little muggy and we took a few minutes to enjoy the Big Dipper and Seven Sisters in the sky. Having Ken with us in the RV is really delightful and we all worked together to get dinner on the table. Ken figured out how to make the stereo work and we enjoyed Kenny G with our delicious dinner and before we knew it, 1am was upon us.
Waking up at 10:45am is highly unusual and it felt good to rest. We are camped out at a beautiful little site here in Maryland (I’ll send you pictures) and we spent the day relaxing, making calls, chatting and taking care of some business issues. Behind the RV is a sweet little creek where Rosie and Bear thoroughly enjoyed swimming. In a few minutes we will unhook and unplug and head toward Solomon’s Island where we will have dinner with Eli, his girlfriend Lisa and Lisa’s parents. We are all very excited for Eli’s HUGE Ph.D. event tomorrow morning! YES! I will definitely keep you posted!
