Day 2

States covered: 1 (NJ)

Last night was the most restful sleep that either of us have had in many weeks! We slept on a wonderful air mattress and woke up to have a delicious brrunch of waffles, sausage, and eggs, courtesy of Chris and Bernedette. Todd and Chris got our car washed (it was filthy!), and then we headed out for the day.

We spent the day looking at new cars, which was a lot of fun. Chris test drove a new Toyota Corolla S, a Ford Focus ZX3, and he rolled down a hill in a Chevy Prizm. :-) (It had a dead battery.) The Focus won for pep. We looked at a Ford Escape, and we would have taken it for a test drive, but the salesman was mean to us. Oh well. :-(

We also stopped by AAA to pick up some tour books and maps for our trip. After looking at many cars, we stopped to eat dinner at Hunan Tea Garden. We filled up on lobster and asparagus soup and a pu pu platter, so we hardly had room for the rest of our dinner. On the way home we stopped at Washington Rock Park, which had an incredible view of most of New Jersey and some of the tall buildings in New York.

Settling in at home, we got to mooch off of Chris and Bernedette's zippy cable modem! In a few minutes we'll have leftover cake [so moist!] and ice cream for dessert. There are also chips for us guests, right Bernedette? ;-)
