New York is the furthest we pushed ourselves northwards and eastwards. We will now start slowly climbing down.

After leaving New York, we entered New Jersey and after about an hour of driving stopped at a Starbucks in one of those service areas on New Jersey Turnpike to plot our second half of the road trip.

After a lot of consultations with Google Maps, I think our rough idea is to come down along the coast and enjoy a couple of days of rest on the beach somewhere. But for today, we are going to see downtown Philadelphia, have dinner in a restaurant by the Delaware river and then drive a little more and check into a hotel in Wilmington, Delaware.

Planning is in progress here…
