Road Trip Home from Florida Keys - via Virginia, Delaware, New York and Michigan.

I’ve decided I”m going to add a little variety to my journal page and add some photos, videos and commentary about Peg and my road trips throughout the U.S. It will allow us to document and remember these trips that we both enjoy so much.

For the first time, Peg will be joining me on a road trip BACK to Minnesota. We left the Florida Keys on May 5th with plans to drive up the coast and then to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, then visit friend in Delaware. Then drive to upstate NY to visit the Baseball Hall of fame and then over to Niagara Falls.

After overnight stops in Jacksonville and FIshersville VA, we drove Skyline Drive in Shenandoah NP on a beautiful sunny day. Later in the day we drove around Washington DC, through Annapolis ME and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Delmarva Peninusula and on to Milton, DE to visit our friends Dave and Lisa near the Delaware shore. We had a very enjoyable visit including some beach walking, bike riding and eating crab cakes at Woody’s in Dewey Beach. Dave and I biked through Cape Henlopen State Park and then through the town of Rehoboth Beach. We also had some time for Peg and I to try running Dave’s backhoe. Something new to both of us, it was fun to learn.

Leaving Delaware we headed to Cooperstown NY to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and then east across NY and the fingers lake region with a stop near Ithaca. The following day we visited Niagara Falls - my first time there. It was cold and windy, but still an extremely enjoyable visit for 2 people that love waterfalls. Leaving Niagara we drove through Canada and up through Mackinac MI and the MIchigan Upper Peninsula and back to Minnesota.
