In July 2017 my oldest friend from high school - Kate - visited us here in the US. The kids and I took a road trip with her to see some of the sights - Philadelphia, Washington and Pennsylvania Dutch country.
Day 1 - Sunday 9th July
We left out place in Massachusetts and headed south on Route 95 through providence Rhode Island and into Connecticut. We hopped off the freeway at Mystic Connecticut and took a drive through the center of town.

We stopped briefly at a glass blowing studio, but everything was way overpriced so after quick browse we got back on the road. Just west of New Haven we jumped off the freeway again and after a bit of a detour through the back streets found a park in East Haven to stop at for lunch. Had a picnic lunch in the park at East Haven and then took a drive through the center of New Haven, checking out Yale.

We jumped back on 95 for a while, then made a detour onto route 15 the Meritt Parkway. A nice drive with lots of great overpasses etc. We joined the 287 at Tarrytown New York and crossed across the Hudson river before turning south and heading into New Jersey. We stopped for the night at a Holiday Inn at East Brunswick New Jersey. After a quick dip in the hotel pool we headed out to local diner for dinner - the Seville Diner.
