Road Trip

We left the house at 4.00 am, bound for points north. We left at such an ungodly hour to try to beat the traffic through North Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

A short time after we left, we were headed northbound on I-95, around Allegheny Avenue. We were in the middle lane when a car passed us, in the left lane, headed in the wrong direction. That's right - some knucklehead was going southbound on northbound I-95. Fortunately, he missed us, and we did not die. It all went by so fast I didn't even have time to make a John Candy joke.

After that near-miss, the rest of the drive was a breeze; a little harmless traffic around the George Washington bridge seemed positively hilarious.

Now we're in a hotel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, safe and sound, and will spend the rest of the week in Maine (the weather is glorious here; we had to put a long sleeve shirt on Maggie). We're going to enjoy our time here, and while we're gone, we will not particularly be missing Philadelphia. Cheers!
