Monday 8-27-07

Got up early 4:30 and tried tofigure out why I can't connect to
wireless. 6:30 am I went for a walk and then went to gym.
We all went into town and visited the Information Center, then to the
Park by the Drawbridgeand then to the "Birthplace of Pepsi", then over
to the "Cow Cafe". There is a 90 min. Trolly Ride that tours "New Bern"
but it is now 12:15pm and it only leaves @ 10am and 2pm. I know that the
kids are not interested in THAT. Maybe I'll stay with kids and the
others can go on the tour another day.
Tonight..CiCi's Pizza! 5pm-9pm all kids just $1.99.
Stay tuned.....

Sunday

We arrived at Fairfield Harbour in the pouring rain @ about 1:30pm. We
unpacked and settled in. Gregoria went shopping for food while I took
the kids to the pool, BUT the pools were closed due to the thunder
storms so we had to wait. Finally got in the pool @ 6pm. Water was 88°,
very nice. Pasta for dinner and then we went for a walk to look for
bats. We found Frogs. Ice cream for dessert. 9pm now and thunder and
lightning has started to arrive again. Tomorrow is another day.

Sunday Morning

We had "Continental Breakfast" @ Travelodge. Coffee, Cereal, Bagels etc.
Stopped for Gas and We were on the road by 7:45. GPS is working Great!
11:00am and we are about 1 1/2 hrs away from New Bern. We have seen a
lot of signs for "Cracker Barrel" and we saw one that was packed. We
have to try one before we come home.

Saturday Night 8-25-07

Finally got to Travelodge (605 Warrenton Rd, Frederiricksburg, Va) @
6:30pm and the rooms were very nice. Clean, 1st Floor, Coffee pot, Hair
Dryer, Safe w/digital Combination and Nice Strong Shower. We went to
"Sam's Subs and Pizza" which was just down the street. Buy 1 get 1 Free
Pizza's $12, I had good Gyro. Nice Restraunt. Eat-in or Take-out. A much
nicer place than the name suggests. We opted for take-out. Got back to
our rooms, ate, showered, tried to watch "Snakes on a Plane" (horrible
movie!). Crashed at around 11pm. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Saturday 8-25-07 Traffic!

3pm and just crossed Deleware Memorial Bridge! We hit traffic on NJTpke
until about Exit 8 and then it cleared up. Now after we crossed the
Bridge.....BAM...More Traffic. Plus we had a screw-up at the Bridge Toll
Booth, it seems that out of all the lanes. We ended up in a Cash Only
Lane. We had to fill out a form and take the EZ-Pass off the windsheild
a give it to the Operator so he could copy some junk off it.

Saturday Morning.....And we are off!

Saturday 8-25-07 13:30am

We just finished packing up the Car and we are getting gas and then over
to Mami's to pick up the rest of the crew. I bought a Used GPS and this is the field test.
Also I am trying to write this Blog from my Sidekick by Email. To be
continued.....
