Long Island

We got up, packed up, said our goodbye's and loaded up the truck. We headed into DC to check out the sights, and we were finished withing 20 minutes. Then, we got stuck in traffic for an hour. We went through downtown Baltimore and up into Delaware. We drove all the way down to Chincoteague island and spent the night in the parking lot of a Comfort Inn. Delaware blows. This morning, we had the free continental breakfast, and headed to the Assateague Island visitor center. We saw some ponies in a coral, and walked out to see more of them in the wild. The mosquitoes were awful. They hurt when they bit you. On the way back we stopped for gas and some off-brand Fanta Slurpees, and drove north. We were almost to the Cape May Ferry, when Lauren's aunt, Terrie and her daughter opted not to have us over, even though we are rarely able to visit. The ferry took about 70 minutes and was nice. Not 46$ worth of nice, but nice. So we drove up through New Jersey, dodging every toll. We went to the Quick Stop from the movie, Clerks. We tried to set the GPS for Brooklin, but we still had the toll avoidance enabled, so it recommended we drive through Minnesota, and through Canada. We turned off that setting, paid 8.35 and were there in 2 hours. We are staying with Lauren's aunt, Linda, and she is very nice. Her Pomeranian  is pretty neat too.  I ordered my digital camera, and I'll pick it up around here in 5-7 days. I'm going to replace the topper lock on the truck tomorrow, then head into the city Thursday to meet Lauren's cousin Joe. I'm going to try to catch George if he's still on Long Island, but we'll see.
