2013 Road Trip (Part 1 of ?)

We took an epic road trip that spanned 10 states and put 3,000+ miles on our Hertz rental car.  We visited family, saw old friends, and visited lots of familiar and new places.  We ate lots of good food and way too much of it.  We produced gallons of sweat as we played walking tourist on some of the hottest days of the year.  It was an exhausting but fun way to spend 17 days!

These are the major stops we made with additional one-night stays along the way.  Our first official stop was Connecticut.  We got to hang out with and visit Howard's brother and his family for a weekend.  They love their new life in Connecticut.



We spent part of a Saturday (June 29th) at the Connecticut Science Center.  It was a hair-raising experience!

This room was full of water experiments.  The nephews had lots of fun in there.  Unfortunately, all of Aunt Eunice's pictures of them came out blurry.  Bummer!

I grabbed this photo from Facebook.  There's the whole group minus the photographer.


They live dangerously close to a cute ice cream shop called Praline's - it's right around the corner from their house.  We bought some kind of death by chocolate and peanut butter ice cream pie there.  Up until now they have avoided 'shopping' there - for fear of starting what could end up being an expensive, obesity-inducing habit.  I think they're wise.
