Aug 22nd
It rained pretty much all the way to Massachusetts but all went well with the GMC. It was a fairly short drive even though we tried to avoid tolls and that caused us to take a slightly circuitous route. The only toll we had to pay was on the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River north of New York City. The reason we try to avoid tolls is because, for an RV towing a car, they are outrageous. When we had crossed the Bay Bridge over the Chesapeake where cars are charged $2.50 and we were charged $15 so we knew the Tappan Zee at $5 for cars would be worse. It was $32.50. It seems like the ratio is about 6 to 1 for us. We will continue to try the more scenic roads for that reason and because we like them.
We arrived at my sister and brother-in-law’s home in the late afternoon and spent the rest of the day discussing my mother’s situation – we had just moved her into an assisted living home – and preparing to visit her – she has memory problems and, at 91 years of age, is declining pretty quickly.
We tried to have some of my favorite sea food for dinner but the two restaurants we tried were closed for some reason – Sunday dinner would seem to be a good time for business but not here.
