The Remainder of our Road Trip

After leaving Indy, we headed out for the East Coast. Our first stop was State College, PA, where we visited Jennifer’s college friend Missy and her husband Marcus. Missy is working on her PhD at Penn State University. We had a wonderful time catching up and enjoying beautiful Pennsylvania. Then we headed due north for the Niagara Falls! We crossed the border into Canada and had a wonderful time visit seeing the falls. The falls are truly breathtaking. Then we headed to the Boston area and stayed with Jennifer’s cousin Susan and her husband Erik in Salem. We had a fabulous time touring all over the greater Boston area. Highlights were eating lobster, visiting Glouster (where the Perfect Storm was filmed), eating pasta and drinking lattes in the Italian district, and touring through the House of Seven Gables. Then we made a quick stop in NYC for the afternoon and saw the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Fabulous. Then we ventured on to Philadelphia and saw the wonderful historical sites ~ Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross’s home, etc. What an incredible city. Our next stop was Annapolis where we stayed overnight with Jennifer’s cousins. Then we headed down to Savannah, Georgia. Jennifer had always wanted to spend time in Savannah, so she enjoyed it very much. The city is America’s first “planned” city, so it’s beautifully constructed and very quaint and charming. Our last stop on the road trip was Bonita Springs, Florida. Jennifer’s parents have a vacation condo there, so we spent the last week of our road trip enjoying the fabulous Florida sun and finishing getting ready for our trip. We had a grand time visiting with Jennifer’s parents one last time before taking off for our journey.
