Ride Home From New Jersey

We were invited for a lunch date in Cape May, New Jersey on Monday. It took us over four hours to get there from Northern Virginia going through the scenic Delaware route. So we decided we would take the freeway route back - hopefully it would be shorter and quicker, and the preferred way for an evening drive.  Even though catching I95 takes you north up towards Wilmington Delaware first, eventually you get to Baltimore and a more familiar neighborhood. There are only so many ways to navigate around the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. I’ve decided I don’t particularly like very long, old bridges anymore. And taking a ferry isn’t our cup of tea since we went to Michigan from Milwaukee on Lake Michigan when it was cold, rainy, and turbulent. What we never realized were all the farm and cowboy sites in New Jersey. We just never associated New Jersey with cows and agriculture. There were as many barns and farms as is on our way home from Lynchburg Virginia. We actually made good time and arrived back in a little over three hours. We like taking day trips. It’s been a while since we have done much of anything since moving to Northern Virginia from Capitol Hill in April. Hopefully now we can begin doing more of these kinds of things - while we can. That Safari in Virginia still looks interesting.
