Eastern Road Trip Colorado to New England & Back, Summer 2012
Well, summer is approaching and it's time to figure out what to do in terms of visiting my parents in New Jersey. Hey, why not make a road trip out of it again and do some sightseeing along the way? I'll look after their needs for a while and do some travel from a base at their place in the meantime. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! I'm writing this blog somewhat after the fact from memory but without work keeping me in Denver the summer of 2012 I decided to drive east to visit my parents in New Jersey and took a few road trips from there over the summer months, mostly to New York and the New England States.
