we're back
We're back from our trip to Cincinnati, Lake City TN, Smyrna, Fayetteville, Atlanta, Athens, Jessup Maryland, the New Jersey Turnpike, Brooklyn, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Chinatown, Staten Island, Binghamton, and Buffalo!
Here are some pix.
driving thru Chinatown on our way out of town:
the view from the Staten Island Ferry of lower Manhattan:
amazing painting seen in Fayetteville antique mall:
Rockefeller Center NYC
Sweetwater Creek State Park in GA - we saw snakes, frogs, lizards, hawks, ruins
Our long-travelling Yaris, safe on Bergen St in Brooklyn
Weather was pleasant in Atlanta right up until the day we left, when it turned muggy. Traffic wasn't too bad, apart from a big accident in Detroit and typical NYC bridge traffic. The New Jersey Turnpike is everything everyone always said it would be - filled with bad drivers, tolls, clueless travelers wandering around the rest areas. Parking in Brooklyn was really easy. We met friends for dinner, played video games at the barcade, did some shopping, went to the Mad Men exhibit at the Museum Of The Moving Image in Queens, hit BookOff in Rockefeller Center, lunch in Times Square, shopped at The Strand, had dinner in Chinatown, rode the Staten Island Ferry, and wore out our feet and our shoes and our MTA cards. Went thru Binghamton on the way home but couldn't get into the Serling exhibit at the Bundy museum, hit some antique malls, crossed the border with zero problems, and we're home.
Had great meals in Atlanta at Pallookaville and Southbound, saw a few friends and celebrated family milestones and spent some quality time on the porch listening to cicadas buzz.
