Summer In New England - Roadtrip 2012 - Day 13

This morning we said goodbye to our friends in Brooklyn and started the drive back home. Unfortunately when we left, the views of the New York skyline were obscured by a pouring rain. The rain also made the drive out of Brooklyn a little more tense. We made it through the traffic, over the Verrazano-Narrows bridge, and eventually into New Jersey, where we stopped in Piscattaway and got some Starbucks and filled up on gas. We continued our journey into Pennsylvania where we went through Allentown and stopped at Tucker Yarn Company (where Tucker the bear had to get a picture with the sign). Just down the road in Hershey, PA, we took a long lunch break at Chocolate Avenue Grille, which turned out to be one of the best meals we had on the trip. It was a little pricy, but the food and the service were awesome, and we were right next to the Hersheypark theme park. After a very nice break, we got back on the road and went all the way to our hotel in Salem, VA, just outside of Roanoke. When we arrived, we dropped our bags and went out for some IHOP for supper. When we got back to the hotel, we spent about half an hour in the hotel hot-tub to get some relaxation time in before bed. We went quite a way down the road today and we will be doing about the same tomorrow. Looking forward to getting back down south! Here are our pictures from today!
