We started the day with a drive to Jersey City to the beautiful Liberty State Park. Somewhere between there and the hotel I hit a major pot hole in the road and should have stopped and had it checked out. If you go to Liberty State Park head towards the ferry parking and drive past it there is a lot on the river that you can park at for 2 hours for free. The best part is that you are right along the Hudson River and you can pay $10 to take a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We chose to take the pictures we could instead of the ferry. The brick walkway on closer inspection was actually pieces of wood cut to the size of bricks and laid to make a path. Below are some of the pictures we took.
Next we drove to Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Where we had a late lunch at the Good' N Plenty to sample some Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy and sweet corn. It was very good.
Then we drove to the Bird in Hand Farmer's Market. Luckily we were there on Wednesday as they are only open 3 days a week. We shopped around and I ended up buying a new purse and wallet. We were the last ones out of the parking lot.
Lancaster County Pennsylvania is home to 28 covered bridges. So when I found this out I had to see at least one, and when I was told that they had some that are still working bridges I had to find one. Deb took some pictures of me driving on the bridge and let me tell you to a covered bridge enthusiast this was an experience not soon to be forgotten.
After the bridge we headed home or at least started in that direction. We passed the DC Temple and Deb shot some pictures out the window as we drove by.
We stopped for the night in Virginia. Check back tomorrow for more of the adventure.
