on the road to Providence RI

Ok hitting the road early about 5am for FFF (Fetish Fair Flea) in Providence RI should be a nice drive.
On the road @ 5am as all ways the sun came up in the east.
and then the Mississippi River.

1 more as we cross the river

That's Louisiana behind us & into Mississippi.

And into Alabama moving on making good time.

Oh look it's Georgia and its a great day so far all is going very well.
ok we are in South Carolina 892.8 miles & 5 states down in only 14 hours calling it a day in Florence SC will hit I-95 & 749.8 miles to go to our next hotel.so @ this point I say good night.

Wednesday morning had a good breakfast and on the road buy 7am and it was a  nice sunrise as we crossed in North Carolina.
its a cool morning but the sky is clear and wind is light so down I-95 we go heading north
Virgina's next . oh look there it is ;-)

Nice day & drive so far Washington DC is next and I hope we don't hit it @ a bad traffic time it's a heavy traffic area all the time.
ok Washington DC this is the bridge its hard to see but there is 3 huge spires.


as you can see they blend in with the street light polls & I got the welcome sign but its not that good i take thea's @ Highway speed with my cell phone so its not that bad.
1 of the Washington monument I tried to get the Jefferson memorial & the Pentagon but they really are crap so maybe next time.
add in lots of traffic and that's Washington DC next Maryland.
got the tunnel entrance for the Baltimore harbor

and a couple in the tunnel

its @ speed but the tile work alone and under the harbor i wounder how deep it is 1 more almost out of the tunnel

oh and that truck blew past me quite fast just saying. Delaware got the welcome sign.


and then New Jersey they let you in free but you will pay to get out $18

and then there was New York we crossed the Georg Washington bridge its 1 huge bridge just a couple pic's

OK Thursday think had a good breakfast & I think we are going to spend the day @ Mystic they have some cool stuff . We had a great day in Mystic did the seaport and had a great meal @ S&P Oyster Co. our waiter was John I will fill in more later with pic's.
On our way to Mystic as we all have seen lots of snow this year this was on the Highway its not snow its Ice where the underground streams come out its like bunches of frozen water falls the pic dos it no justice.
