Day 6

The end was drawing near. Boston, home, our own beds, were so close, yet, SOOOOO FAR!

Becky and I got up earlier than Alicia and went down to the Whole Foods to get some fixin's for waffles and bacon. We cut up some strawberry's and raspberry's and had a lovely breakfast on the porch. Then it was time to say good-bye and get back in the good 'ol Honda.

We left at 11. We thought had had planned this perfectly. We would miss the DC traffic and hopefully only catch the beginning of the NY traffic. Traffic in DC was slow going. We made it out of there and in to Maryland around 1 or so... Then we made pretty decent time. We stopped quick for lunch, our turkey and cheese sandwiches with carrots and of course making inappropriate comments about the people at the rest stop. We can be pretty immature sometimes, but, eh, who cares, we had our supply of twizzlers to keep us happy.


Back on the road, and headed towards NY. We got to NJ paid our arm and a leg toll and were on our way to the G.W. bridge. It was probably about 3:45.

We had gotten stuck smack dab in the middle of the traffic. We listened to 4 Dixie Chicks CDS from the NJ turnpike in to NYC. I was getting ridiculously angry and soo frustrated!!! We had no AC, which is really ok, except when you are surrounded by 16 wheelers, and stupidness. Here's me being very, very, very frustrated. Even Alicia is making a face in the corner.


A good 2 hours later, we had finally gotten through the traffic and were headed towards CT. We were doing well, until, shocking! more traffic. I thought it would be best to get some gas since we were low and I had no desire of getting stuck with no gas. We got off at Stamford, and couldn't find gas for the life us. So we got back in to the pile of traffic. It took probably another 30 minutes until we were happily going a nice 60 miles per hour and saw a rest stop. I HAPPILY handed the keys over and took my happy place in the passenger seat. That was at 6.

There were few delays from there. A pretty decent accident did stall traffic for a little bit. A huge 16 wheeler looked as if it had ripped open like a can of sardines and then flipped... not so great. Even worse was a stupid Jeep from NJ who had the dumbest driver ever. Boo her. First, she almost crashed her car in to other cars going about 70 miles an hour, she didn't stop in time, so instead she drove off the road in to the middle ground. She got back in the line of traffic where she then bumped the car in front of her. The driver got out and started yelling, thankfully it was settled and everyone got back in their cars. Once we passed the accident it was smooth sailing to the house. We got home around 9:30/10. The car was pretty much emptied, but there was some stuff left. Tomorrow, I'll start really cleaning and doing laundry and what not.

Well, it's off to bed so I can be ready and refreshed (yeah right) for work!
