So we're zipping along through New Jersey and into New York. We missed the entrance to the Garden State Parkway because it was on the same sign as another road that said next right. So we took the next right and ended up on the other road. But our new map that Marty bought yesterday showed that if we kept going, we'd intercept the Garden State Parkway, so we kept going. And we did intercept the Garden State parkway. Shwew.
We only had to make one U-turn on our way to Staten Island and had no troubles getting arcross the Outerbridge Crossing Bridge ($6 toll). Then to I-278 which will take us to the Verazano Narrows Bridge to get us off of Staten Island. It's smooth sailing until about 6 miles out from the bridge and we hit stop and go traffic. Well, considering how much stop and go we've seen on the other side of the highway to this point, if this is our worst traffic, we're doing okay.
What a perfect time to pull out another Julie gift! This one is a multi-pack of Polar Ice gum and 2 fortune cookies. Marty picks a cookie and I get the other one. This is so great, here's what they say:
Mine said, "You shouldn't overspend at the moment. Frugality is important." How did it know? There are so many expenses involved in moving and I'm inbetween paychecks. Oh my, is that so true.
Marty's said, "You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend." Could they mean traveling through 6 states in a day? Seeing a lighthouse (on the wishlist of things to do)? Can't wait to see!

Almost thought about not saying anything...but you said U-turn...so I couldn't resist! This IS a classic Theresa trip.
