Leaving Philly was pretty easy. We got across the river just fine, but once we were in New Jersey, we couldn't find the Turnpike. Now how hard can that be???!! Well, it was hard for us. Of course, it might've been easier if I'd been doing a good navigator job and helping to watch for signs, but I was writing blog entries and looking stuff up on my iPhone instead. ooops. We got to a town that was on the map and was waaay past the turnpike. We tried one shortcut back to the turnpike but we got on a road that wasn't on our map, so we stopped at a convenience store and bought a New Jersey map (we'd been working off the Southeastern United States Map). Why look! there are lots of numbered roads on here!! But we decided to go back and find the Turnpike instead, which we did.
When we got back to Belmar, Tom had recommended Connolly Station for dinner. He said he would try to meet us there, not to eat but just to chat. The food at Connolly Station was really good. And the kids menu was a hoot. It was the "Little Engineers' Menu" and we later saw some children who had ordered from it and their meal came with a paper cut out of a train and who knows what all. However, it was a little hard to enjoy it because it was so loud in there. We never did see Tom, so we paid our bill and left.
