Delaware is the First State of the Union. It is my 50th state. I have now been to them all! We went about 20 miles into Delaware to visit The First State National Park in a little town called Newcastle. It is a lovely community and many of the homes and businesses are original homes.…

Yesterday we drove across the river into Philadelphia to visit Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and other sites. I was awed by the fact we were walking in the same places as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock and so many others. Our day began finding a parking space. We have a Ford F350 dually…

This is Helen. Helen has always hated me. She would run and hide when I came around. If Tom was feeding her I couldn’t go into the kitchen because Helen wouldn’t eat. She never came near me and I was rarely able to pet her. I have never done anything to her, well except for…

There are so many stories of New Yorkers being rude and we even had a woman from New Jersey ask Tom why he would want to go to “the city.” But we found nothing but kind and enjoyable people. Yes, there are lots of people honking horns and people are busy and in their own…

Yesterday we successfully navigated the New Jersey Transit System. We took the train from Dover into Penn Station, caught a cab to a Starbucks near Central Park and waited for our Pedi-Cab driver to pick us up. It was a wonderful tour of some of the sights of Central Park. There were so many movie…

Yesterday morning we headed to Liberty Park to catch the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I’ll be honest and say, I never thought I’d see it in person. We had a wonderful but tiring day. We went to the Statue first and arrived at the area to visit the pedestal. Most…

This morning we awoke to rain and cold. It didn’t get out of the 50’s here today. We headed towards Boston early this morning. We are in Littleton, MA. We found the Alewife subway station with no problems, parked and picked up our Charlie Card to ride. We got off at South Station and walked…

We took the bus to Bar Harbor to pick up our electric car. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the little Gem. It reminds me of Smart Car. It is actually a glorified golf cart that only goes 25 mph. We sat off for the park but you can only drive on roads…

Yesterday we arrived in Maine, my 47th state. We stopped at a rest area, and a truck/camper from Connecticut went the wrong way and almost hit the truck to get into a parking space. The funny thing is, they are two spaces away from us in our campground. Tom keeps calling him my buddy. I…

Quechee Gorge was our first stop this morning. They are doing some work on the bridge but we took a little hike to get a view and then were able to walk along the bridge and got a better view. It’s billed as the Grand Canyon of Vermont. I wouldn’t go that far but it…
