A Fortnight Northeast Road-Trip

Our two-week trip across the Eastern half of the country went through or touched at least fourteen different states as we headed to the beautiful Northeast. We stopped through Memphis and Nashville for a spell before hitting the long and winding (actually pretty straight) road again. Stopping at Newtown, PA (our old hometown for two years about 25 years ago) was a highlight — love that place! And then we hightailed it to one of my wife’s bucket list places to go — wonderful, idyllic Nantucket. We had to cut our stay there short by one day because Hurricane Lee was on our tail as it raced up the East Coast. From there we continued North to visit our daughter and her family’s home just outside Portland, MA — what a gorgeous area and an impressive, rugged coastline. After a few days there it was time for the long trek back home in North Texas. On the return trip we stopped by the hospital where I was born in Buffalo, the old family farm, the amazing Niagara Falls, and many other stops along the way — four days later a wonderful journey came to an end!
