Our Star Spangled Adventure Day Twenty-Nine

Wednesday, June 20th, Day Twenty-Nine:

So, I am several days behind....I will put up the next couple of days quickly.....AND.....briefly.....and then more filler...someday (sigh)

Left Lancaster, Pennsylvania, according to our hostess, Michele, the oldest inland city in the country. It was WAYYYY to short of a visit. Loved the hospitality......and the conversations.

This morning found the three youngest with fevers.......but, we pressed on......and spread our germs as discreetly as possible in Philadelphia (aren't you glad you were not there? :) )

Missed an exit for Philly....what a pain THAT was....... almost as much as the pain of finding parking in Philly around the historical sites......that, and water to drink.

We took a self-guided tour around the area, seeing the Liberty Bell, etc......but NOT the inside of Independence Hall......disappointing my children exceedingly......it is ALL my fault :(

By the end of the tour, the two oldest had fevers.......please God that the mom (driver) stays immune.

Left for Long Island at peak traffic time....wow, it was easy going!

Crossed the longest suspension bridge in the US (is it Verrazano??? Cannot remember)....and camped in a state park. Got the tent set up just moments before dark. Phew!

We had to pay almost $20 bucks for tolls on roads and bridges......crazy.

..........till next time
