Back in CT

I made the trip in 3 and a half hours! I've only done that one other time - when I was going down to Dover before I moved, driving like a bat out of hell trying to get there as quickly as I could. Today there was just no traffic and people in Jersey actually drove normal for a change which let us fast people drive on the left.

Since I love to take (and post) pictures, here's some I took on the drive up...

This is what we call the "yellow bridge". Have not idea what the real name of it is, but it's neat looking.

To my SIL, this is the Delaware Memorial Bridge. That one I DO know!

Yup, she spotted a motorcycle and is getting ready to bark at it.

My Little Navigator. She helps me watch out for crazy Jersey drivers ;)

I must have the military on my mind because I read this as "USS Apple". Not even kidding.

I have all my necessities for the long drive: snack food, venti Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, water, lunch, belt and two headbands (yeah i love headbands that much), iPod and the pink thing is Phoebe's leash (yes mom, I brought a leash!)

The requisite airplane shot. Getting close to Newark, NJ now

Manhattan from the GW Bridge

This dude driving the tractor trailer (yeah that's what they're called DB!) cut me off and nearly ran me off the road. So I got into the left lane to make my way back in front of him, but I ended up getting off the wrong exit. In NYC that is not the best thing to do. But that's what I get for playing revenge!

WTF?! Really?! Who allowed that to get on a license plate?! WTF!

She's a mommy's girl now that daddy's been away and has not left my side. She follows me around everywhere at the house. When I got to my mom's, I sat down to type out this post she went under the desk and sat at my feet. Which is also usually where she is at home in the office. Too cute.

That's all for now. I'm going to take a nap, hopefully dream about my studly pilot who's over in the desert right now, and then read some before dinner. Oh we got to chat online this morning for like an hour and a half!! It was soooo nice!
