We did it. Packed and on the road by 9am friday morning. Great day for travel - sunny and 1 degree . Had a short but great visit with Grammie Jeanne and then we crossed the border into the States around 4:30pm. After buying a cell phone to use in the States, dinner and finding a hotel with an empty room (PEI and NS school break) we settled in for a good night sleep. Of course we remembered to turn our clocks back one hour but will we remember to "spring" them ahead tomorrow night ? Gained an hour for a whole day.
Saturday on the road by 7:30am and we headed to Midland Park, NJ to visit Steve and Mary Lockhart. About 3 hrs out of NJ we ran into the front end of the Nor west storm coming up the coast. High winds and rain. We arrived in time to get settled in before the storm really hit. Rain and more rain, high winds, power outages, sirens everywhere. A lot of trees down and some people lost their lives due to fallen trees. We are all OK and no damage to the Lockhart's property. We had a great visit with Steve, Mary and Erica. So good to see them
Sunday - the wind has died down and the rain slowed down but still an "ugly" day - gray and dreary and wet at 9 degrees. Left the state of NJ and headed south to the #81 and stopped for the day at Roanoke in Virginia . It rained on and off all day, the temp slowly climbed to 14 degrees, the traffic was not too heavy and the grass is starting to turn green. Saw hundreds of Canada geese flying north today. We went for a walk before supper and then talked to Jeff and Jack on the phone (they are in Florida) and Jack caught his first fish off Popi Chris's dock. He was sooooooo excited ! Bernie is optimistic and has pulled out the short sleeve shirt and sandals for tommorow morning. I think I'll wait another day
